Bird Study (4) – Mouths and eyes opened

On June 19th, Felix told me this:

At this time it is not the end of the story yet, maybe half way, maybe the beginning. The little bird(s) are growing, you can see more feathers now. Few days ago, they were almost bare. Bigger too. When the mother sits in the nest, I find that she is higher up than before, because the babies beneath her are bigger. The mother now leaves the nest more often... maybe the kids need more food. The babies can't fly yet, and they still stay motionless when the mother is away.

From the photo, I can see.......

One of the birds opened its mouth wide, waiting to be fed, or learning to sing,t or breathing in more fresh air or shouting to her parents. The other opened its eyes to look at the things around it. This bird wanted to experience the sunshine, the light breezes and hear different kinds made by other animals. The last bird must be sleeping by their sides.

They were ready to eat when their parents brought home some delicious worms.
