This barn swallow has just hatched her second brood; 4 tiny new lives that will need to feed up and grow fast, ready for migration in just a few months. Birdsy captured the calls the adults make to trigger the chicks to gape and be fed. At the moment, their eyes are still closed so they need the call to tell them that a beaf full of insects is ready for delivery!
