Feeding baby birds

Sunday the bird nursery was short volunteers, so I stepped up and spent the morning feeding baby birds. The baby birds that are not self feeding yet need to be fed every hour, and it took me almost 45 minutes to get to all of them, so as soon as I finished a round it was time to get more food and start again. They are pretty darn cute though.
I did the first round of the day at 8am, and the little guys are sooo hungry since they went all night with out eating (maybe they should learn to feed themselves!). So you walk in and 5 little birds are lined up with their mouths open, following you around. And the guys in the next room over were trying to get food through the mesh wall they were so hungry. This is what they are like at 9am:

The ones on the hill I was feeding were old enough to be out of nests and hopping around though. You wave a little syringe with bird food over their mouths and they open up, and you keep feeding them as long as they keep gaping. Once they get full they stop opening up their mouths. The self feeding ones just fly away from you if you get close. So I'd just walk around the enclosure waving my syringe and feeding anyone who asked. Then I gave them some meal worms, which they thought were delicious. But it was cute - the younger ones couldn't rotate the worms around in their mouths to go down easily like the older guys, so I had to get them in the right way. We have one room of crows, and they where soo hungry. They're the biggest of the birds I had to feed and ate like 10 times the amount.
One of the enclosures had 3 little tiny bushtits, who are adorable birds, and they hung out with a flycatcher, because they'd be in the same cage earlier. So all three crowded together on a rope pressed up next to each other looking cute.
After I finished my first round someone asked if I'd given the cedar waxwings their blueberries, which I hadn't (I don't know my birds and what they like!). So my next round I came in with the blue berries and they where SO excited. One snatched it out of my hand as it came out of the container cause it wanted it so much, while he was flying! then they perched and ate a bunch of them (though some other birds stole a few).

And in the same enclosure as the waxwings was a very annoying house finch. He came to us because he had been landing on people at parks! He is habituated. He kept trying to land on me, and I'd shoe him off, then find out he was riding on my back but was so small I didn't notice. So each round I had to aggresively shoe him off and swat at him, and then he finally gave in a little and just followed around on the ground. He even at some food from me, even though he's old enough to self feed.

Feeding the baby birds was fun, for a little while, but I was excited to get back to the rest of the animals in the afternoon. Baby birds are so time consuming!
