Update on Frostie and Streak's Babies

All five of Frostie and Streak's babies have fledged now, and I've removed their nest box so they won't be as tempted to start a new family until mom and dad get a well-earned vacation! ;-) Here are several photos. :-) The dad is the one with the orange cheeks, and the mom is the white one. I'm estimating that the three larger chicks will be weaned in 2 to 3 weeks, and the two smaller chicks about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks after that, just to be sure. Once weaned, some of them will be up for adoption. It's too soon to tell their genders at this point. :-)
