That gaping little beak reminds me of raising both a baby robin and a baby blue jay back in the 1970s. I stuffed them full of night crawlers, mealworms, and bird pellets until they wouldn't open their beaks, and an hour later they were hungry again! Keeping them warm and well-fed is quite a job, but fun. I can only imagine the dialogue during feeding.... " Good morning, Fraggle. Welcome to the Brooder Cafe. Breakfast this morning is bee larvae over easy, cricket pate', and a ground egg patty infused with vitamins and minerals. Bon appetite!" My thanks to the great crew working for the Hawaii Bird Project. Congratulations to both the avian and the human parents of these endangered chicks.

Facinating to hear about the rapid growth and the nutritional demands necessary for that growth. Also, congratulations on your attempts to reintroduce the birds into the wild population. I always enjoy reading about success stories. My only gripe: in celebrating #200, I would have loved to see a picture of the little " Fraggle" itself! <em>Editor's note: Check back on Monday for a new photo!</em> Excellent article featuring great information!
