Day 12
One's feathers have begun to become more feathery. Compare today's picture
to the picture from the 29th of April (here).
Its legs look to be just about full size already!
One with his new "feathers". Look at the flight feathers starting to grow
on its wings.
Two is growing but is still awkward. The way it lies on its fat belly, its
head is pressed against the bottom of the nest box.
We've never really thought about it before (perhaps we haven't seen enough
baby birds, or perhaps they are not all the same) but the budgies seem to
have vestigal fingers on their wings.
