Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) juvenile adult
The juvenile (on the left) that featured yesterday being fed.
I was alerted to this Great Crested Grebe by the sound of its young calling for food. Unfortunately the young was hidden behind reeds and for most of the time so was this parent. This photo was therefore taken through a brief gap in the reed cover.
A couple of avocets poking around in the mud at low tide, looking for something to eat. Burlingame, California.
A male House Finch working extremely hard to feed his two fledglings. These little ones were very demanding, and Papa is looking a bit disheveled. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

"Ana Chata" Mountain, "Pedra do Baú" Complex, São Bento do SapucaÃ, São Paulo, Brazil.
Papa Bluebird feeding a mealworm to one of his youngsters. They have been making regular visits to the mealworm feeder, as often as five times a day. I have a large mealworm feeder, with a roof to offer protection, and large enough for as many as eight bluebirds to be inside at one time. Dad has been teaching the youngsters how to enter and exit the feeder, but they still prefer to have Dad drop their food directly into their mouths. The feeder is in our "bird tree" very close to our house, the background in this image is the potting shed. Backyard birds.
Our first brood of bluebirds have fledged, with papa bringing them to our backyard meal worrm feeder. He has been feeding them mealworms directly but will soom encourage them to enter the feeder on their own. There are two hungry youngsters in this brood, Backyard birds.
