Bird Bombers
亀清旅館の玄関の外にツバメの巣が出来ていて、ママ鳥が一生懸命に赤ちゃんたちを育っています。餌を飛んで持ってくるのに忙しい。鳥の世界にも「お母さん」の意志が強いね。
日本ではツバメの巣が出来ると、運が良いと言うそうです。雲は良いけど、その鳥の糞は迷惑。迷惑けど、巣を取っちゃえばきっとジンクスになるでしょう。取り敢えずは糞の掃除をしながら、小鳥が大きくなって、引っ越しするのを待っています。
ツバメの巣は亀清の入口の少し右にあります。その下に歩けば、糞のご注意を。
A swallow has took up residence in a nest close to Kamesei Ryokan's front door. The mama bird is busy feeding and taking care of her babies. Even in the animal world, that motherly instinct is impressive.
In Japan, it's considered to be a sign of good fortune for swallows to build a nest at your house. I'm not sure about the good fortune, but I do know the nests mean a lot of messy bird poop. However, taking down the nest would jinx us for sure. So we're just biding our time, cleaning up the poop, and waiting for the baby birds to grow up and move out.
The nest is just to the right of our front door. If you walk below it, I highly suggest avoiding the urge to look up.
