Great collection, Brian. That Grey Fantail made my day: a proud mama telling her husband what the kids got up to during the day. 😀

Wonderful photos, Brian. Are these all/mostly from your yard and garden or were you out and about to get them? I’ve seen lots of empty nests here but none with occupants, more’s the pity.

Most are from my besties garden, the small birds close up. The others in the trees are my place and the Wallabies of course. Glad you enjoyed my mothers janet

Got to love baby birds, heads up, mouths open wide. Just keep pouring in the food mum.

And then there are those birds, like cuckoos, that plunk their egg into some unsuspecting little bird’s nest and leave the surrogate trying to satisfy those demands!

Especially small birds and huge cuckoo young. That is sad
