| The past couple of months, September & October, it's been amazing watching all the baby birds. They're easy to spot because they're always a bit chubby & fluffy and they all squawk all the time at their mothers 'give me food, give me food, give me more food'. There are chubby little Redbrowed Finches darting around the backyard, little Honeyeaters learning how to fly, baby ducks being shepherded along by their parents for morning swim school, mother magpies feeding their ravenous babies, fluffy little Figbirds & a nest of Magpielarks who seemed to go from tiny to exploring around the tree the nest was in within a week or so. Interestingly once they were all out of the nest & on branches in the tree the nest was destroyed. I don't know though whether the mother does that or another bird. |
