Touchwood all the birdies seem to be excellent parents this time around, and by the looks of it, god willing all of the ten will survive - fingers crossed!
The babies who were born 22nd September have grown so much that you can already see their wings beginning to form, and their eyes are slowly opening. The small pouches you can see just below their neck is called the crop - that's where all the food that the parents feed them get stored. Right now they're all healthy and well fed babies so their crops are almost bulging with seeds and mashed peas. If the crop is empty, that's when you know they haven't been fed. Isn't nature is so amazing!
