Here you see Papa has been hunting for tiny insects to feed the babies. When all else fails, they will pick out a smaller meal worm (I have a mixture of medium and large at this time) and they will break the worm down before taking it to the nestbox. In a few days the babies will be able to eat mealworms and the parents will load up and take mouthfulls to the nest. I am thinking of temporarily removing the roof of the box in a few days and mounting a camera directly above, to try to get some shots of them feeding the little ones.
