Today there is plenty of sunshine. I was able to capture very clearly both Bluebird parents doing their chores.
Following that both parents fed their babies and checked, but no fecal sac was retrieved. They flew away to look for more food.
One more trip for Bluebird father. Maybe Father’s Day is not celebrated in the realm of birds.
Incidentally, once they fledge, young Bluebirds will not produce fecal sacs.
What a joy, they are just so colorful!

Good news about the diaper duties ending with fledging. I bet the parents will be greatly relieved! I can’t think of too many human dads who might do fecal sac duties. ๐

I’m impressed that the fathers are just as involved as the mothers… it’s always the way in the animal kingdom!

Its makes sense from a survival point of view to have two helpers, yet larger animals, like lions leave all the work to females.
