Aren't they just precious! I'd guess they were about 1 month old. They stay inside the burrow for 2 weeks after hatching, then it's another 2 wks till they can start flying. Probably the oldest was able to fly away and one of the younger ones rolled into the burrow instead makes me think they're just about one month. They really weren't agitated with you. They're just curious kids. The parents would screech and bob with their wings out stretched if they were upset & the kids would run inside.
@waywardmuse. Just wanted to let you know your insticts were dead on. You did a great job capturing a day in the life of these adorable birds. I laughed when I heard your disappointment when you had to leave. I get it :-)
Anyway. Sorry for rambling. Great video!
