Welcome to this jolly website, dedicated to the delightful Betty Blackbird and her valiant endeavors to embark on the noble task of family-raising in our humble garden. To add a touch of quaintness, we have bestowed the name 'Betty' upon all our female blackbirds, while their gallant male counterparts are christened as 'Mr Blackbird'.

This delightful tale regales us with a brief account of Betty's past efforts, but it truly shines a light on her grandiose achievements in the splendid year of 2023. With her charming partner by her side, she courageously laid and hatched a splendid clutch of eggs right in our midst! Oh, what a glorious sight it was to witness the tiny beaks peeping out from the snug nest.

But hold onto your hats, my friends, for the story does not end there! Our fearless Betty, seemingly in possession of superlative parenting skills, proceeded to bless us with yet another clutch in the very same nest! Oh, the audacity! The audacity of this feathery family to raise two broods in the same abode, defying all expectations.
