Java Sparrow (Juvenile) / Padda oryzivora / 爪哇禾雀

            Feed me next please, I’m starving !

Three baby Java Sparrows, only recently fledged from the nest, wait patiently in-line to be fed by one of their parents.

Actually, the sentence above is a complete lie …. :)

The three fledglings were in fact desperately scrambling over one another in order to be fed first by their parents.

This was simply a case of right time, right moment, lucky capture …. giving a false impression the three fledglings were actually queuing in an orderly manner !

NOTE: These are not wild birds; this image was captured in a large outdoor aviary.

Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港. (Best viewed on a larger screen.)
