Despite there only being two birds in either image the little one hiding under the tree may be the young'un of the other pair on the driveway. I couldn't get all 3 birds at once and they are usually the most skittish of animals, the slightest awareness of my presence and they are gone. Today it was someone walking past who scared them away. Most unusual to be able to photograph them in my yard without a telephoto lens from quite a distance. They are pretty little things though and love my yard when it's wet, probably something to do with my mowing schedule. I do it when I feel like it, usually when the grass is over my knees (dictated by health not laziness, that only affects every other aspect of my life).
