Hear that faint skree?  "Let me out, mum, you're suffocating me!" 
What a perfect description of that little noise  ;D 
Maybe they want to get out because the weather has finally warmed up.  It is 57F with a forecasted high of 82.

Well from what I saw the other two eggs each have holes in them. So expect two more soon. LOL. Mom didn't take long to feed the two and get them back underneath her. Now I can go to the store!!

I was going to say this same thing but after yesterday I didn't want to jump the gun again

Watched the feeding with a co-worker...Awesome!
We were both sitting here opening our mouths with hopes of helping the little ones have better timing to grab the food from Mom.   ::)

that was fabulous!  but mom didn't have much luck getting food into the babes beaks...  it was pretty impressive to watch.  I'm delighted someone zoomed it in!

I love how when, after a few unsuccessful tries at getting food in the mouth, Mom just goes ahead and eats it herself. Well, she has been working hard all morning.

Yes, the other egg is behind the babies, and it has a big pip in it too  ;D  I saw it when dad was there briefly.

The 2 cuties are barely keeping their heads up for a feed.   :P
