Birds Look Ready to Leave the Nest...

So, the birds have turned completely around, as you can tell from these photos. This would seem to indicate that, at the very least, the birds have the ability to turn around. Yes, I deduced that all by myself. We have put a blanket under the nest so that in case one of them fell out, it would not fall onto the brick. I have no idea if the blanket would actually make any difference, but it seemed like the least we could do. Earlier when snuck up upon, the birds were STANDING in the nest. I will try to get a picture of that if possible. We saw the mother in the yard yesterday with a worm in her mouth and after we went in, she flew right into the nest, so I think the babies are eating well. I also moved the kids' tent that had been in one spot in the courtyard for several months and uncovered a cornucopia of insect delicacies for the little family. Not sure she took advantage, but it sure would have been handy for dinner.
