These are the barn swallows that nest over our front door every year.  In this video the babies are almost ready to leave the nest.  All of them flew a week later.  I included clips in real time so you could see how fast the feeding was. The adults don't even perch on the nest -- they just feed in a "fly-by".  In one of my older videos the adults did perch to feed the hatchlings when they were very young and their eyes were still closed.
