These dear sweet "teen" Mockingbirds came tot he suet this morning and I just loved watching their antics. Even though they can eat perfectly well by themselves, they still beg when the Mother comes near, fluttering their wings and opening their mouths to beg-ha! I never get tired of watching them.
Here is one begging while his sibling feeds himself. The mother was on the Crook above him and he is opening his mouth, expecting her to feed him.
The reflection in the water was so clear this morning.
Mockingbird
Mama, Mama, feed me please!
Just once more, is my plea.
I know that I can do it Mom
But won't you give me some?
I promise, I'll be grown up~
Tomorrow when I come to sup
But just for one more sunny day,
Can you still feed your babe in the same old way?
