And so our babies are learning to fly and starting to have a look at the outside world. We had to put the screen up at the window to make sure the parents could get in and out and the local cats could not get in.

We now have five baby birds and the parents all flying about in our kitchen, while the little ones get strong and able enough to go off on their own.

It has certainly been a priviledge to be part of this process. It will no doubt be pretty quiet without them!!
