This is how I get to take the pictures. Hungry birds let their babies fend for themselves for a few minutes. I even touched one today. You should see these birds fight for the food. It's kinda like 9 piglets trying to eat off 8 nipples. One shoves it's way in, pushing another out. The pushed out bird moves down a few inches and pushes a different one out. Over and over every 2 seconds or so. After about 5 minutes the food is completely gone.
And here are our first two babies on day 4. Their eyes are starting to open and you can already see how much they are growing.
PS: Daddy took most of the pictures up until today. That is why they are not the same every day. I will try to get out there from now on. There is a reason I am the family photographer.

19 BABIES?!?! Why so many?!? Did you mean to have that many? How many do you have all together and when can we come see them? Did I tell you my husband's dad used to have homing, rollers, and racing pigeons?
You can come see them anytime as long as you are prepared for the obstacle course that is our garage. We usually feed them around 3:30 or 4, so that's a good time to peek at the babies.
Oh, and I've seen rollers. They are so cool.
