Baby Birds

Star, Stripes, and Rose Red
Fizzy managed to get a picture of the babies: Star and Stripes. You'll notice that Stripes is sitting in the food dish. They're still begging their parents for food, but they're also trying out real food themselves. I've seen young sparrows do this, too: they sit in the feeder outside, right on top of the tasty seeds. They'll try a seed from time to time, but the moment a parent or perhaps any adult comes by, they beg. "Feed me! Feed me!" Baby zebra finches, like Star and Stripes, make a wheezing sound when they beg, so I call them "wheezers." Baby Society finches are "peeps."
