The fledglings at this stage have not yet reached the mid-air food passing stage so how are they currently being fed, do the adults take individual birds to each of the youngsters on their respective perches or do the youngsters congregate next to the adult to be fed as if they were still in the nest .... ?

I watched 2 leave their nest last week, however the adult catches a bird takes it back near to the young and calls a high'ish pitch "kee" one juvenile comes near the adult drops the bird for the young to catch, if it doesn't the adult grabs it and repeats try and watch it if you can it's amazing.
