Mom and Dad Downy have been bringing their little one to the backyard feeders lately. The other day, I watched as Dad scooped up some food…
…and then attempted to feed his daughter. Let’s just say his delivery left a bit to be desired!
The next thing I knew, Mom had relieved him of his feeding duties. She went from branch…
…to branch…
…scooping up Bark Butter and making sure their little one got plenty to eat. I had to laugh as I typed that last sentence, because she really isn’t that little; in fact, with her puff and fluff, she looks bigger than the adults.
And truth be told, I’m wondering if Dad’s less than desirable attempts were just an elaborate ruse to get some rest and relaxation!

Great to see and photograph, I’m hoping I’m not missing our youngsters dropping by while we’re out travelling 😳👍
Awwwwww. Very fun and sweet sights!
Babies birds are so much fun to watch!
Fantastic!

hmmmm–only a parent would write this sentence 🙃
Hmmm…I shall neither confirm nor deny…:)
The parents seem to have lost weight while ensuring the young one was amply provided for!
They run themselves ragged!
Such great pictures of some beautiful feathered friends.
