We have very recently had some adolescent Grosbeaks and thier parents. Seems to be about three or four adults, and about eight young ones. Their flying is improving in two days. They try to fly instead of dropping from branch to branch. The parent's work very hard to keep everyone fed, including themselves. Some parents are shifting from regurgitated goop to feed their young, to a shelled sunflower seed. Some of the young are now making attempts at navigating the feeders - which is hilarious. None of the antics are as cute as bath time though. They really seem to enjoy it. Maybe their first baths? Dad said it was time for the tub. Dad gets wet... Little fella getting the hang of it on his own Brother wonders what on earth he is doing
For a few days now I've been lurking trying to catch the baths and the feeding time. This happened last night, but I could not post until tonight. Just so darn cute.
