These are young birds. I assume that they are still being fed as they got very excited when another (adult?) bird flew near them. Unfortunately this other bird was rather more cautious than the younger birds, and never really flew into picture.
However, I think you can see that the young birds got rather excited at the prospect of food. I recall a similar look on the faces of my kids, and still see at tea time with my cats!
The Welcome Swallow is one of a limited number of Australian bird species that are doing well at present, and their population size is increasing.
