baby golden bosun is growing up - not gold yet though

This is the baby bird I posted early to mid-July - last time seen it was a little ball of fluff, now it looks more like its elegant parents, I love the eyes.

I love the eyes too, and it's so good that the bird has survived nesting on the ground! beautiful

Wonderful series. Really great that you can get that close without the parents trying to attack.

Where is this living?

@chewyteeth it is in a hollowed out tree stump out the front of one of our accommodation blocks. Several species of birds nest on the ground here. I've seen the golden bosun bird parents come in to feed junior and they are the clumsiest looking things on the ground, but so graceful int he air

@lbmcshutter I'm the same, clumsy on the ground, put me in a plane and I sleep like a baby, it's beautiful to see.
