Yup. I wasn't too happy with their over-exuberant fledging schedule they are definitely in need of more 'cooking! :? but I guess it happens sometimes. The parents are still very attentive and keeping close watch and feeding their babies. Interestingly enough, my blue billed male is also helping them watch and I caught him feeding two of them today... :shock: I've seen CB's feed each others babies; I guess the Fires do it too upon occasion.

Cool. My Society's, all four of them, have decided they will help raise the three fledglings. I see all the adults feed the babies at times. They are so cute. Like aunts, uncles, cousings, etc. One big happy family. :D

Societies are very sweet that way, huh? Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling! :)
