I photographed the two babies in their nest this morning. In the late afternoon, small thumps just outside our front door! Both of them had decided to leave the nest! As you can see, no wings to fly, no tail to help the flying! John captured one and tried to put her back in the nest but she immediately jumped right out!
Their loud cheeps signified where they were in amongst the foliage.
The top of the head is missing here but I like the fluffiness of their feathering.
Thankful for:
Another freebie Friday - at the local Club - the dessert today was waffles, cream and berries!
@julzmaioro No cats around thank goodness. We did have a cat who wandered across the road and jumped up on our deck, but it's family moved away. Another neighbour had a cat which died of old age!
@taffy Not a rescue yet, Taffy - they are somewhere on our property hiding under bushes and squeeking now and then to encourage the mum to feed them! There are so many squeaks, I don't know who is what!
@gardenfolk I guess its in their genes and they are unaware of danger at this stage of life - like our babies but then they have us to keep them safe hopefully for the initial stages of their lives!
