Day 16...

So, they're starting to hop around now. They'll probably be leaving the nest, here in a day or two. Unfortunately, I won't be here to see it. I'm flying to Denver tomorrow, so this will probably be my last post on the birds.
When I went in to photograph them today, they were hopping all around, hence the pictures of a few of the birds by themselves. I tried to take a video of them, but it's really dark. However, you can still kind of see them hopping around. The third picture, is one of the birds that was actually trying to get out of the box, but it couldn't get a grip enough to help itself out. Here is the link to the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8y7l5qfQzk

Day 15...

Day 14...

Day 13...

Day 12...

Not a whole lot has changed. When they are adults, their feathers are a bit iridescent, so that's starting to develop. They sure do grow up quickly. Day 12, and they're almost adult birds.

Day 11...

Their feathers are starting to come in, and they are really starting to look like real birds.

Day 10...

They're really starting to grow, although the smell in the nest is just rancid, and I'm wondering, "How can that be good for their little lungs?". Unfortunately, beings that I can't touch them, there's not a whole lot I can do.

Day 9...

Just mostly they're growing alot. Their bodies are starting to become more adult bird shaped, their heads are becoming a bit more round.

Day 8...

They're still just as loud as ever. Their eyes have really started to open. Their beaks are getting longer, and it's really kinda stinky in the nest :)
