A Male House Finch working very hard to keep his young one fed! This Juvie was extremely demanding and vocal. It is always a fun time to watch the parents feeding their babies. Photo taken in June, 2024, in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
The female Goldfinch takes advantage of a spider's web and feeds on some of the free offerings.

Anna's Hummingbird mom feeding her young.
Male hummingbirds never provide care for the family. They just go their ways after mating... :))
Here's an old JPG from my 2008 archives that I like. I remember how happy this little boy was feeding the birds.
Looking at it now, I wish I had captured his expression, and been able to get all the birds above the horizon. Still, the composition shows the conclusion of a fun day at the beach.
Sepilok, Borneo, is a place where rehabilitated orangutans are looked after. there is a set feeding time but it is a lottery as to whether or not any appear. The monkeys never fail to turn up though.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
Grebes are wonderful parents. Both male and female share the parenting duties equally. I was totally engaged watching them with their chicks.

It get very busy in the wetlands and I can go on and on with images like this one but maybe when things really slow down it will happen.
Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) juvenile adult
The juvenile (on the left) that featured yesterday being fed.
The bucket is full of chunks of bloody meat which the keeper would throw at intervals to the cheetah. All the while the cheetah is making low growling noises, suggesting that it is not happy to be kept waiting for a full meal.
I could not help but wonder if, one day, the cheetah might choose "self serve".
