The three remaining chicks look good Pete, but it’s a bit worrying that the parents are offering them suet!! The only moisture chicks get is from ‘live’ food and that is why it is absolutely necessary that parents supply moisture in this form - obviously the chicks can’t get to water. Unless they are fed enough live food the chicks will no doubt dehydrate. Maybe the parents are first timers and not quite understanding the importance of this. So so hope these three survive for you.  Sue Yes I think the suet is coming from a neighbour's feeder. I agree about the moisture content. But, despite this, my three survivors seem to be doing ok still, for the time being at least. |
