Love Bird Hatching Update

And then their were two... (November 29, 2008)

And then three... (December 1, 2008)

And then four... (December 2, 2008)

They are hatching in the same progression as the laying, with a day ~ more or less, between. I guess that gives mom and dad some time to get geared up and used to feeding/caring for a nest full of babies. They are growing at a tremendous rate. The first one is almost triple the size of this last one!

I tried catching mom or dad feeding one of the wee ones, but that didn't work out, yet. I did see them in action though. At this stage the little ones can't do much but roll around and they are rolled onto their back and then mom or dad regurgitates food into their beak. When done feeding they roll back over and then cuddle up with their siblings. They have such sweet little voices.
