Swallow chicks rescued the country

Back in 2006, at our house in the country swallows made a nest. Right on the porch - and my heart is glad, because the nest was located conveniently for photography, taking into account the modest capabilities of my Sony DSC F828.
At the beginning of holiday chicks looked like this:





These are tiny Fuzzies:



Once there was a heavy rain and the wind and the nest fell to the ground. Well, we saw it at once, seized the remains of the nest, placed in a small basket, caught chicks (they are nimble, barely caught) - and put them there too.



The basket was hung in place slot:



Fears that parents will not feed the chicks after the children were in the hands of man, but everything worked, and the children began to explore the edge of the basket:



A few days later, the children feathers:



One, the largest - was sitting on the edge, the other is still in the nest:



Children - they are curious:



As always, the most interesting - in the basket

Then the chicks and the rest followed his example:



By the way, it turned out to be five chicks - once we caught and put in the basket of four, and one ran under the house - crawled only after two hours, we have defined it above the ground wearing parents. Caught in a basket and shoved the rest ...



And here they are on the edge of the basket:



The same group can not decide which picture is better, both publish



Began development of pen baskets as perch:



Such are the curious faces



For some reason, most of all liked to sit on the handle of the basket one chick, the largest



Here are here friendly kids sitting huddled



They



On approaching the parents - wet behind the ears have asked



My parents flew - mouths closed



Long shot caught when they opened all five yellow mouths finally caught:

Here such here beauties we live ... And now the house enough nests, but they are mostly in the attic - it is inconvenient to remove, even more sophisticated technology with a powerful flash.
