Canary babies

I'm glad to report two canary babies are busy learning bird language from their parents. I'm sad to say that the third baby didn't make it, but the two that did are replicas of the parents. Only their size lets me know which are the babies and which are parents. Its too soon to tell if the lighter brown will be female as is the mother and the darker brown with black patterns on the wings will be male like the father.

Both parents feed them and their little wings flutter like a hummingbirds as they hold their mouths open as wide as possible to be fed. They are learning to fly from perch to perch across the cage and they like sitting and balancing on the swing.
