  They are so cute they are Robins.  We tried to get them to fly today they did a little but ran back to us. So their resting in their box for tonight,  glad it's been raining the worms are coming to the surface so its been easier to feed them. 
  
  We haven't seen the other one he was in a tree hopefully he will be OK.  We named them Moe ,Curley and Larry.  but, here are the names are friends gave them.  Mild ,Spicey and Hot,   Wing, winger and wingette, Breakfast,Lunch,and Dinner.
  
   You can tell where their evil minds are. Anyway, I hope they are on their way soon.

  Tess, that is actually very normal -- all fledgings go to the ground for a few days before they start learning to fly. Usualy it best not to interfer, cause the parents still watch them and teach them.

  Sad news one didn't make it. I don't know what happened, they were fine yesterday and came back last night. 2 of them. this morning one was not well. It's neck didn't look good kinda flopping around. The other one flew off a little while a go. My son took some pic's I don't know how to download his camera. When he does I'll get them up.

  Sorry to hear that Tess -- I have rescued animals before. It is sad when some don't make it --- but you probably gave it the best chance to make it.
  
  That's nature. It sucks, but you have a big enough heart to at least try.

  That's a shame.  Hopefully the other two will do well and continue to progress.
