Watching sparrows

From a while ago, when the sparrows had chicks. The little ones all made it, but for the next brood we have moved the birdhouse house up on the balcony where the cats can't watch as closely...

The male with two chicks displaying their hungry mouths. Above two visiting youngsters - maybe from the previous brood?

Our second brood of house sparrows have grown in record speed and they will probably be leaving the birdhouse in a few days.

The sparrow chicks have grown bigger - it won't be many more days before they are ready to leave the safety of the nest.

Wonder how many they are?

If you look carefully you'll see the beeks of two chicks on the left picture. I don't know how many there are, but 4 or 5 is the usual - and statisticly only one of these will survive until next year.

One of the chick looking out from the nest, while the mother bird is watching from above. They are almost as big as her now, so it won't be many more days before they are ready to fly off.

Last day in the nest

The day before the sparrow chicks flew off the nest. Almost as big as the mother bird, who did all she could to convince them that it was about time to test their wings. Now they have moved to the neighbouring gardens, where the parents will continue feeding them for some days.
