In the Lab

Click on the left image to see two birds feeding their three chicks (1.4Mb video). Observe how mama and dad clean the house afterwards! The birds nested in my garden and I could not resist the temptation to film them and share the joy with you. As scientists we should keep our child curiosity alive! Thanks to Antonio Rodriguez Sinovas I can say that they are blackbirds (Turdus merula) or mirlos in Spanish.
