So I decided to check, and at least one has hatched :) and s\/he really didn’t understand why I wasn’t providing food. Unfortunately, all I did was torture the poor thing. I couldn’t get the picture that I wanted, so I sat the basket on the porch, and baby settled all back down. I accidentally bumped the hanger for the basket, and baby was all perky with open mouth. “Ahh,” tengrrl the bird torturer realizes, “if i touch the basket he thinks it’s mommy and pops up.” So I just tortured him\/her a couple of times till I got that last shot. I know. I’ll definitely be in the woodshed for this one. Mama is back out there tending them now, so he’s probably forgotten my evil. <\/p>\n
