have my fingers and toes crossed that this time around these guys survive.
they came out of a nest which I knew had 3 babies in it just couldnt tell what type.
actually fledged yesterday. found 1 dead on the ground, didnt have much in the way of feathers though so I'm guessing it was the last to hatch and probably the smallest.
the surviving two are flying around really well and the parents are with them all the time.
dont have a camera until the weekend so will try and get a couple of pics then

the parents of these two must be happy with their lot as they have commenced building a new nest already.
the two fledglings are feeding themselves and I didnt seen either of the parents feeding them today. was out in the yard working on the new aviary. well I worked for half the time I was out there the other half I was birdwatching :D
