So very beautiful!! I just saw a video of a man hand feeding them and also feeding from his mouth. It was fantastic. He is here on RB too.
Wow! That would be cool to see, if you still know where to find it could you BM me with the sight.. Thank you very much.

What a capture! AWESOME! And beautiful.
Thank you very much! I can’t wait to get some of the babies!

This is delightful; I love her perky posture! She is super alert! Very well done, Sherry!
Thank you so much Bonnie! My understanding is that the babies had just hatched hours before I got this shot, so I think she was in protect mode.
