frozen chicks

26-07-2007
It is cold windy and rainy here in Cape Town.. We feared that the newly born weaver chicks were frozen to death in their little featherless bodies. At first sight it seemed quiet and miserable out by the nests. Then we saw the female with food in her mouth. Yes she is feeding. There must be something there still. It is not making as much noise as yesterday. I wonder if it is sick or weak or frozen.
