This is a great shot of the less attractive stage of their development. I have hand raised these birds when they fell from a nest and they are quite docile and actually become quite tame.

They are pretty defenseless. They are also pretty inactive. The sit there all day, occassionally shifting their position. The time they are most active is during feeding (Morning & evening). At that time they are in a mini-feeding frenzy with the parent feeding both at the same time. Fortunately, I have not had to serve as their protector. Cats are not a problem here, and the nest is located in such a way to keep them from the preying eyes of other birds (like hawks or owls). Nonetheless, I keep a close eye on them. Maybe, too close. I think their parents would prefer I stop photographing them (at least twice a day), but seem fairly tolerant. (At least they don't have to pay rent).

Really, really, really pretty :) I'm so glad that this little family is growing so well under your care.

they look so defenseless. Are you being kept busy, - do you have to keep watch for cats that might find the nest, while the parents are away?
