Just uploaded these from a while ago and they were a pest
to get onto the blog, a gremlin in the programme . . .
a starling family dropped in to feed their youngsters
"hey mom, I'm hungry!"
"you look big enough to fend for yourself kid"
"aw c'mon mom"
"see, you can do it!"
"don't walk away!!"
note the little yellow-dumped hornbill in the corner
"no mom, come back!"
"please mom don't walk away, dad can take care of the other four "
Did you see the wealth of green apples scattered under the tree
in the first few shots?
That's what happens when the parrots come to call, they strip the
trees before they or anyone else can reap any benefit.

that was cute, arija. absolutely what the little one was saying! :)
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos and the captions are perfect. Juveniles of all sorts seem to make the same kind of begging noises!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tex, Arija, perfect birdie dialogue for the day!! Hope your week is going well!!
ReplyDeleteLove it. And starlings aren't nearly as insistent as adolescent galahs.
ReplyDeleteThey are insistent birdy babies..like our own and as noisy I bet. It is so hard to think of parrots taking apples as we only see them in cages here.. Much nicer to know they are free there...sorry they take all the apples...Michelle
ReplyDeleteHI Arija great shots and wonderful bidie talk to go along with it. Made me smile. Hope you are keeping well.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of shots. I love that you have baby birds already there. We just had a blizzard recently so all our birds are not contemplating nesting yet . I came over to visit from Tex's blog . Hope you don't mind if I now follow along.
ReplyDeleteI love your commentary with these delightful photos Arija :). Your parrots are so pretty but with a voracious appetite?
ReplyDeleteThey are such pretty birds....they remind me of the universe with their design!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize parrots would do that! I thought starlings were a pest (they are here)...looks like they're fairly polite compared to the parrots.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet these are and love your writings along the way too. We usually do not get too many Starlings, but with all of the harsh Winter weather, they have been right outside our window for a couple of weeks now~ HUGS
ReplyDeleteEinfach entzückend! Toll getroffen, eine super Bildergeschichte! :)
ReplyDeleteCute...birds are such beggars when little (or not so little)
ReplyDeleteWas für eine wundervolle Bilderserie, liebe Arija! Ich empfinde solche Beobachtungen als ein sehr großes Geschenk!!!
