Thanks springtime 66 and Amanda.
The parents have been back taking mealworms. They appear to be quite close by. Hubby was treated to a visit this morning by one of the fledglings. It landed on the conservatory window 🐤I missed it because I was our getting their mealworms 😏

Many congratulations on them all fledging successfully & you're lucky that they return to feed. My GT's fledged on the 19 May (will post details later) and as usual, I never see them again as they don't return to feed.

Thanks YorksherLass, maybe your GT's will come back. My BT's went for a while after fledging, then they came back for a while after about a week.

Well, as promised here is a video of my GT's fledging, maybe a fraction out of sync, but start to finish was less than 4 minutes. . I'm really missing the little 'uns being around. They are out in the big wide woods now

It was so funny to watch the mother evicting the first chick because she had a poop sac in her beak and wanted to get rid of it. 😂

Thanks Sammi and Ann
Sammi, it's a piece of software called "OpenShot". Very easy to use, even I could use it 😉 and it's available for windows. We use Linux though.

Nice quality video Taz but what a raucous noise it's a wonder Mum doesn't have a set of earplugs ready! As others have said they look really healthy and quite the perfect GT but in minature! Well done to all including the Mealworms who gave up their existence for another.

Thanks Taz for the information about the editing software. I'm going to hopefully get the laptop from hubby and give it a go🤣🤞

Well done to all including the Mealworms who gave up their existence for another. Thanks blueeyedchick, yes, they were really noisy. I'm sure they appreciated the sacrifice the mealworms made though 🍔
