Update on Wilbur and Orville
Matt and I are now only foster parents, thankfully! After making the patio safe for small birds, we put the cage outside with the door open. As long as we keep the cats away from the door on the inside, the mother will come and feed the babies in the cage; she's sort of treating it like a substitute nest, as far as we can tell.

This is really great, because it means that we don't have to worry so much about them learning wild behaviors, and we don't have to feed them so often. We're still bringing them inside at night and feeding them when we bring them in. We know the mom is feeding them worms, and we introduced them to crickets last night. The crickets weren't a big hit, but they ate them, especially when we fed them a cricket and then a bit of baby birdie mush on top of that.

The saga continues...
