Cute series Morris!

Is that the bird equivalent of Johnnie throwing himself on the floor of the Mcdonalds while kicking and screaming for a Happy Meal?

Thank you Doug,
I guess you like that food exchange better than the fledgling swallowing dad's head.

Wonderful, Morris!

Each frame is a simple delight (especially knowing how fast it happens).

That you kept focus / DOF once they separated really adds value, IMO.

Thank you Kim,

The trick is switching subjects as the camera tracks the action
