Feeding Rescued Baby Finches

Four rescued baby birds feed chirpily from an unlikely Mr. Mom......UPDATE (4-29-12): They were released back into the wild just five days after this video was made. They gained weight and plumage quickly, due in part from a diet of enriched parakeet pellets softened with water. Two days after video they began flying. Three days after video they'd mastered landings. Four days after video they learned self feeding and drinking and bathing in water. Fifth day they were flying about inside the house and seeking each other out for shared roosts. I decided it was time. I took the nest outside and all four flew to the top of 40-ft. tall eucalyptus trees, expertly and without hesitation. My job was done.
