Very nice find Birdy! If possible, do keep a track of their development, and it is not advised to use direct flash while photographing chicks, hence do it under natural light only :)
Great
Great images and a chance for me to learn about and see things from a part of the world I may never visit. Thanks.
Very Very Nice!!!!

Thanks Linda! Your visit and comment is much appreciated.
The babbler youngs look so naive as if they can easily break or die. I appreciate using nature as your theme for photography. Keep it up!
