At a kindergarten on the outskirts of Fukuoka City, swallow chicks and parent birds are working hard to raise their children.
At Satsuki Kindergarten in Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City, many swallows arrive every April, and from May, nests are built under the roofs and eaves of wooden corridors to grow chicks.
Since the garden was built 16 years ago, it has come every year, and so far more than 10 pairs have built nests and laid eggs, and many chicks are growing.
The little chicks opened their beaks wide and screamed, and the parent birds brought food to them.
There were also swallows trying to fly out of their nests while being watched by their parents.
Children gathered under the nest and were delighted to cheer when they saw the swallows raising their children.
The children said, "It's cute to hear the squeaking," and "I want you to grow up and fly."
According to the Fukuoka Branch of the Japan Wild Bird Society, swallow chicks leave their nests about three weeks after they return from their eggs.
