<human>: First some back story:

I bought a plant last month so I'd have something to practice being responsible on, since I'm trying to work my way up to owning a dog and if I can't handle watering a plant... I might hold off on buying something that actually has the ability to poop and die.

Anyways, a few weeks ago I go to water it and this bird freaks-the-geek out and flies off.  It doesn't seem that weird to me at the time, so I just ignore it and go about my day.  Next time I go to water it, I take the plant down from its hook (its a hanging plant) and sure enough there is a couple of eggs sitting amongst the leaves.

I set the plant down on my porch table set (thank you, Costco) and decide to leave it there.  I'm not entirely sure why I did that, but it seems to have worked out for the best as since then the eggs have hatched and they're now right outside my window.  I've had the chance to watch these tiny ugly bird-like mutants turn in to cute little baby birds (although sadly I missed them hatching).  Now, every morning I open the blinds to see the 2 of them going nuts trying to eat their mother's... ermm... throw-up.  It's actually been really cool getting to experience "nature", hooray!

From time to time I brave the parent birds and I try to take some [pictures](

Ok, so now to my question: I originally thought these eggs would never hatch since birds are supposed (?) to lay eggs in the spring not the fall. Is this bird goofy or am I just under educated?  Also, since it's getting cold out there and the baby birds are now too big to be covered by the momma when she's nesting is there anything I should do to help them keep warm as it drops below 40F here at night?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: A bird laid eggs on my porch plant in the wrong season and they've actually hatched.  Since I don't want to have to take care of the baby bird bodies if they die... do I have to worry about them freezing?
