Day fifteen and our babies are fourteen days old (cause I counted their first day as day one, instead of them being a day old on day one ... you get the picture.)
They are very much like adult birds. They are very frightened of me so my visits are incredibly brief. I don't know for how much longer I can take a picture of one in my hand each day, because I think they are really ready to fly away. I don't want one to fly off my hand before he is ready and possibly injure himself. I will be a little sad the day I find them all gone from the nest, but also really excited. Isn't it incredible how fast they go from a practically fetal state to nearly fully developed?
