Day 13.

I need to change some information I gave the other day - they DO make sounds when the parents come. At first, they were so small that the sound was too quiet for me to hear even with the window open - now it's so loud that I can hear it even with the window shut. Even when the food has disappeared into their wide-open mouths, they will continue, just in case there's more coming. The Papa tends to bring larger beakfulls, and sometimes drop things into the nest that he then digs out, so there is sometimes more coming. It's not a cheeping, really, it's a hard sound to describe. Once they've been fed, they will sometimes just chirp a few times, but the chittering sound they make when a parent flies in with food is a more continuous sound. I managed to record it with the hand-held video camera the other day - hopefully TechnoBoy can help me figure out how to post that here someday soon.

Too cute not to share:
