Description
Mom and a couple of offspring. The babies left home earlier this year, but remain incredibily oppotunistic. If it appears an adult is on a food source, a youngster appears out of nowhere and begins begging. By pecking on the red spot on the adults bill, they cause the adult to regurgitate food they thought was all theirs. Not a tremendously attractive scene, but obviously efficient. These guys are everywhere. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

interesting tidbit of information, what we won't do for are younguns... good one :]
As disgusting as it may seem, I know of quite a few birds that feed their young in the same manner! Good shot! :)
ok, hold on one damned second Cindy! i promise you that if one of the kids pecks the red spot on my nose i WON'T regurgitate for 'em and in all likelyhood they'll get smacked! lol now as far as this image goes...great work Jim! i love birds to begin with and you show 'em great here. way to go man!
I am a big Fan of Re-gurgitated Food, having been a Ships Cook....all the Crew enjoyed it too :]

Yeah! very nice capture. It's hard to take a shot of three birds at the same time. Thx for sharing.
Excelent work !
Fabulous shot of those guys! Beautiful tripple!
Very nice picture of the birds. Great piece of information that I never knew before. ^_^ Just one small thing wrong here... I don't think they make good anime characters. They look a little too real.
They seem well grown! They are bigger than the mom!
