I'm worried the little puff balls will get stepped on! So cute right now. What are they eating? (New here)

Usually fish but occasionally something furry gets brought back. Squirrel? Groundhog? Rat? It's hard to tell.

I read that the parents ball or curl up their talons so they don't accidentally spear the chick.

Two newborns will do that to you.
