Doesn't take mother nature long to get those babies out and on their own. Suzanne
You know Chris I am just loving seeing this photo of your babies.
I would like to show you where my Kookaburras have made their nest. For sure it is no longer an ants nest. This is Mum who is on her way out after feeding her baby/babies. Don't know how many as yet.
This is her second year of breeding in same place.
We have another ants nest that has Kingfisher's breeding in it...
It is special to see nature at it's best...Thanks for sharing...love Kerry
It doesn't seem that long ago the were born.. like all babies they don't stay small for long
What a great time of year it is for us in the southern hemisphere. We have a pair of plovers taking it in turns to sit on the two eggs at the base of a hibiscus bush in the garden. They do not build nests just lay their eggs straight on the ground
Yes, I know we have them all over the lake area and at a local golf course where they do the same! The daddy Plovers are very protective of the eggs. Love Chris
Wonderful pictures. Nice to see the new birds. Thanks for posting and have a great weekend. Hugs Lynn
Thanks Lynn, it's been good so far. I'm tired, but happy to be home after a long day babysitting Dana's 3 gorgeous children. Love Chris
My goodness, they grew up so fast!
They certainly do and will get bigger and bigger in the next couple of weeks, but once they leave the nest we don't see them again until next year! Unless, the parent birds come back and have another batch - which they did last year! Love Chris
How wonderful to be able to watch nature so close. Great pictures. Hugs Shirley
Firstly Congratulations on 100100 flowers and thanks for a update on the family in your garden. Information from Cuties around the world about life around them is great and has expanded my knowledge no end. Thanks for your Kookaburra info
Thanks so much Caroline. A great milestone! I can't believe how these birds have grown so much in the past 3 weeks. They certainly are cuties. I wish you could hear them - there were 4 adult Kookaburras out there this morning and the noise was so loud it woke us up. Our bedroom is downstairs near the back tree but there is a back deck and the underneath part where I hang my laundry between us and them! Love Chris
