Getting access to the White House can be tough for humans, but these baby robins and their mother are as much residents as the Obama family themselves! This little family made their home in a bush right outside the White House. You can see that the mother robin is taking good care of her hungry chicks, feeding them a steady diet of earth worms. Meanwhile, a family of fowl made themselves at home on the White House grounds. This mother duck and her ducklings seemed to be taking a tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -- that's the White House address.
