Very cute. Are they related?

RogerF, I have no way to tell. The flock of about 20 flies off if I get too close. They have been arriving at about mid-afternoon most days for the past few weeks, and spend an hour or so snacking on grass seeds or just roosting and grooming. Related or not, they certainly seem to like each other.
