Day 6 (I think) here and the youngsters are giving us a close up look at nature in action. Frankly, they're kind of giving me the creeps. No longer resembling juicy rotisserie chickens or raw oysters, the babies are looking more like dinosaurs who will peck your eyes out and steal your soul. Can you imagine your body changing like this so quickly? One day your reflection in the water bowl is soft and smooth, and the next you're growing a wierd mohawk, claws, and feathers. Ick! Feathers growing in is just a creepy thing. So are giant eyeballs with tiny slits in the middle. Eeew!
Here they are beginning to spread their widdle wings out, and Junior is cheeping for breakfast. Apparently his mom is supposed to just come along and put food in there. It's amazing how that works! Maybe I"ll try that myself and see if any biscuits fall in!
Ah, no such luck. Apparently flopping over, mouth gaping is only effective for some species. Kind of like mom leaving her shoes and stuff all over the living room, hoping someone will come pick up after her. No such luck.
See you for the next installment of Nest Watch!
Love,
Lucy
