five feet of me - 4 young only - one gone litherfar which I don't know but no trace of it in bottom of nest - egg no.6 is infertile or death - no signs of hatching -> let it in nest. no 3 - young jumped as my hand came within 'ft of chest. They were sitting on nest ledge - pecked - not pinched down & and flutted and scrambled ≈ 10g 2 put away - no more advanced in action or feather growth judging from tail and chin than egg laid. Cage bird - now loving Jane - objects by spring hushth and, giving hoarse screig note when I handle him however. Begging note still a fairly weak but beginning musky stickup in rhythm. Now pops "quatter" with fat grill under him. Can not fly but my break fall - chings defarable rather than jump. Begs a little when sees me approach with food in hand. Once in a while gives the rhythm - 30 sec/10 sec. I screig note as a lonesome - lost young one gives in gears - simply to shake. Reppon paused at point - however redundancies of this - I suppose due to acclutmy to surroundings
