Observation details
5 babies being dutifully fed by brave parents, enduring despite choosing a nest under a human structure. I ended up closer than I preferred to be as I can't be in the direct sunlight forever and the birds and I were all panting in the heat, so I took breaks under the shelter and kept as far away from them as I could. Then a whole huge group of people showed up and filled the shelter, but the parents still managed. I will never get over how fast they grow. I can see from my photos that there is a mite infestation and one of the babies is covered in them. I hope the little ones make it ok.
