Red-winged Blackbird and his fledgling
p.1 #1Red-winged Blackbird and his fledgling
As you will see dad wanted nothing to do with feeding this now capable young bird.
Comments and suggestions welcome,

1) Feed me Dad
2) I'm busy
3) I'm still busy
4) I have more feathers to make perfect
5) I guess I'll just have to try Mom

Great captures and captions!
I observed two sparrows in my feeder. Same size but clearly one a parent and one a fledgling. Because the parent was eating and the fledgling was chirping at the parent asking for food. While standing knee deep in seed. Parent ignored the kid until eventually he gave up and started his own feeding. Tough love.

Thank you Eric,
I agree, there is a point where the child must take responsibility for it's self
