I've been adopted

[nabisho]

A Brewer's Blackbird couple in the yard have adopted me as their kid. Every time I come in the driveway or go outside they both start chirping like crazy and my new Dad flies up to the tree and gets a fat juicy bug and then flies around my head trying to drop the bug and feed me.

Here they are that's Mom on the right.




Here's Dad he's a handsome fellow with shimmering black coat and bright piercing yellow eyes - they look almost electric.



Here's Dad bringing breakfast - a fat juicy bug, I just haven't been able to bring myself to look up and open my mouth yet.

LOL You gotta love them!

You have got a couple of ready made rehabbers there....huh? Perhaps you can put those bugs/and or birds to use, should a species appropriate youngster need help to eat.

They are lovely birds, thanks for sharing.

....and oh,,uh... Congratulations on the adoption!

You're doing pretty well, then, young Brewer

I think you need to encourage their behavior. Go ahead... make their day!

You can always spit the bug out when they're not looking.

That's so cute, I hope there's room in the nest for all of you I hear that bugs are an excellent source of protein, mmmmmmmmmm bugtastic!

Nab, that is just soooo funny!

I can just hear Dad now, "Come on, son, say "ahhhhh!'''

They are beautiful birds!

At least you know you'll never go hungry!
