A pair of BARN SWALLOWS
 

They built a nest above my door,it must be 2 months now,during the day,they will come and stay awhile,god knows what they are doing,sometimes they just fly by and leave.
At night,there is only one which sleeps in the nest,where is the other one?
2 years ago,I think it is the same pair which built a similar nest ,same place,and raise 2 babies,how can 4 fit in one small nest,it is rather shalllow?

I took some pics but cant send it on this computer,
anyway they are barn sparrows,not their first rodeo,same place,same nest from 2 years ago.
I see three little ones with their mouth open,last time there were just two,mom and dad are very busy ,more mouths to feed.

Is there any way I can help,I know they catch insects in the air,?

There are 5 in the nest,this morning one fell on the ground and I just put it back in the nest.
