Transition Butchie
This shot taken last weekend shows Baby Butchie perched on a pot plant at my back door. His feathers are transitioning from grey and white to black and white, he looks something of a mess, but soon he will be a fully fledged adult.
Butcher birds live in communities with a breeding pair who are supported by the community in raising their young. Baby Butchie was one of three chicks, and the only one to survive. I hope he will stay to help raise the next generation, and our friendship can continue into the future.
