some days they look really ugly as they do today!
Jack has had a go at flying ,he made it ,just a little way ,then went with a bang on to the floor.That evening when we went to have a look,Jack had an awful bruise on his wing.He is using it and he does not cry out when you touch it so hopefuly he will be ok.

Jack who loves a cuddle !!!

The parents

Betty is behaving like her mum.She managed a short flight straight on to my shoulder.When a finger is offered she climbs on puts her leg up and goes to sleep.
poor thing gets tired out learning to fly.
Jack is lifting his foot up when I put my hand down for him. He can just about manage to perch on my finger ,but is still a little unsteady.

Betty is spending more time out of the nest box,she is perching on the branches and is quite content and not as wobbly.When Mum's about she cries out to be fed,but after watching her, shes quite capable of feeding herself.She has adapted to flying and is getting more and more confident as each day passes.She looks like an old lady with her new feathers coming through,there is still a lot of grey downy feathers but the colours are starting to come.
Jack keeps trying to get out of the pen,he managed to get to the top and clinging on for dear life, flaps his wings and ends upside down still flapping.  He does not demand feeding from Mum or Dad quite as often as Betty does,infact it was early evening before Cheeky fed him.I have found him  several times sitting on the floor,I hope this is not a sign of things to come.He appears to be ok.He still likes to come to me for a cuddle and he loves his head tickling.
Both chicks are still sleeping in the nest box with Mum.
