While David was doing some gardening this morning he spotted this baby noisy miner bird in one of our trees.
Of course he shouted me to let me know there was a photo opportunity and out I came, very quietly, camera in hand to take his photo.
The noisy miner Mum was higher up in the tree and as I regularly feed just about every bird that appears in our garden I suspect that Mum knew he was safe because I have probably been feeding her for a while.
Baby didn't seem to sure about being out in the big wide and wonderful!
@maggiemae I think you may be mistaking this noisy miner for the common myna or Indian myna bird. Noisy miners are native to Australia and are honeyeater family whereas common myna's are native to Asia and are from the starling family.

He was keeping his eye on his Mum who was higher up in the tree. I don't think this little chap has his legs working yet.
Sadly noisy miner birds often get mistaken for the common myna (Indian myna) but the noisy miners always play nicely in my garden.
Noisy miners are of the honeyeater family of birds and I believe are native to Australia
