Young birds even when they are able to fly still must beg their parents for food since their bodies and skills may not be fully developed yet. Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen bird parents mouth feeding their fledglings, but I was only fast enough to take the following photos of youngsters begging for food from their mother or father.

Beautiful images! Maybe all bird parents lose some weight during their nesting season? They seem to give their young most of the food as they are always hungry for more.

You are so right Tiny. Parents, including humans, sacrifice a lot for their young ones.
