Description
Mom and a couple of offspring. The babies left home earlier this year, but remain incredibily oppotunistic. If it appears an adult is on a food source, a youngster appears out of nowhere and begins begging. By pecking on the red spot on the adults bill, they cause the adult to regurgitate food they thought was all theirs. Not a tremendously attractive scene, but obviously efficient. These guys are everywhere. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

As disgusting as it may seem, I know of quite a few birds that feed their young in the same manner! Good shot! :)

Very nice picture of the birds. Great piece of information that I never knew before. ^_^ Just one small thing wrong here... I don't think they make good anime characters. They look a little too real.

They seem well grown! They are bigger than the mom!
