Saya dah besar Mak! - Mum I'm bigger!

It has been one week since the chicks hatched. Now it has grown bigger and the yellow feather start to grow. I expect another 5 days before fledgling.

I'm hungry mom!My eye now open!
very hungry chicks, feeding every 5 - 30 minutes.
















after feeding, the mother attended to the other end (butt), and picked the faecal sac to be disposed off far from the nest.

Interesting and effort well spent! Foster dad. You don't have good angle, the place well hidden. When the chicks grow larger and standing up, your luck may change.

Looks like this is going to be a successful nesting.
Thanks for update.

Good observation Mr. Tabib.
Looking forward to your fledgling pictures.
Did the parent ate the fecal sac?.

Its hard work for the bird parents raising chicks. They do a great job/
