The baby Bluebirds have arrived, and are causing a commotion of cuteness in my backyard!
There are four youngsters this time around, and to say they are keeping Mama busy would be an understatement.
While she is focused on feeding one, without fail, there is another waiting impatiently in the wings.
Sometimes I cringe a bit when I watch her feed these greedy little guys – it looks like they are going to bite her beak off!
You can’t blame her for trying to deliver in bulk. I think she is bringing four mealworms at once in the picture below!
I have discovered that these little ones are not quite as helpless as they would have Mom believe. One minute they are loudly demanding that she feed them…
…but the moment she flies off to feed another, they help themselves to a snack.
I had to laugh at one point, when she was just getting ready to deliver a mouthful of food to one of the youngsters…
…and the rest of the crew came crashing in. A frenzied feeding photo bomb!
Suffice it to say, patience is a virtue they have not yet acquired.
Ah well, they may be causing a commotion, but at least they’re cute!
I would like to invite you to post this on my BOTD blog post. The pictures are so good and the story only makes this post better.
Feel free to re-post or link it. 😊
Thanks! I put a link in the comments.
They do seem like a raucous bunch!
Pretty sure the whole neighborhood is wondering what’s going on in my backyard!
Very beautiful pictures!😊 Can’t be easy to be parents of insatiable kids.
They are quite demanding, but oh so comical!
These photos are all adorable…brought me pleasure, smiles and giggles. Those babies can be loud when they are wanting food. That is one busy mama. Hugs
Glad it brought you a smile. 🙂
Delightful series!
Thank you! They are such fun to have around. 🙂
Kathy these shots are absolutely amazing! I love the baby bluebirds! They are so cute! This really made my day! I love it!
They are so entertaining!
LOVE it! I’ve noticed that, too, about the babies not being as helpless as they play when mom or dad are around.
