The birds are still wandering around the edges of our garden. This morning I saw three of them together within a few steps of each other, plus one of the parents, still feeding them worms.

A day or two ago I saw one of them try to fly. It flew a few meters up from the ground and tried to land on a tree branch. It almost got a grip but not quite, and tumbled half a meter to the next branch further down. It couldn’t get a grip there either, and tumbled to the next lower branch. And again it couldn’t get a grip, and fell down onto the grass below. It looked a bit confused and miffed, and didn’t try again.
