Danny started going to the bushes to look at the nestlings that had hatched three days before. When he was close to the nest, and moved apart the branches, there they were, three little chicks. Their parents went for the food and chicks were quietly waiting for them.

Danny accidentally found the nest several days ago. There were three colorful eggs inside. Danny came in every day to check on the eggs. Three days ago he saw three fluffy chicks in the nest.

Danny would sit for a while and observed how adult birds flew away and returned with insects or worms for their kids. When their parents were coming, chicks stretched out their long thin necks and yelled,” “Me!Me!Me” Parents would sit on the edge of the nest, put the food into one of the open beaks and flew back for more. The chicks closed their yellow little beaks and calmed down.
