When Enemies Abound ...


"When enemies abound it is best to lay still and be quiet."


That's one thing I learned from observing these newly-hatched chicks.  One moment they were calling out loudly for their mom to bring them food, but the moment they saw me, in a split second they remained still and quiet.  That's how I was able to take this shot.

More pictures of these lovely birds after the jump.




They must have been really hungry.


After being away for a month and a half, this is what greeted me when I got back home - newly hatched chicks not high up on a tree but on eye level.


In just a few days, it began to develop feathers.



One rainy morning the mom had to keep them company.  It even made a roof made out of dried leaves over the nest.  It was raining everyday here in Davao during that time.


I had to leave for the weekend to visit Dumaguete, when I got back, they were ready to fly!  Luckily I still caught the second chick just before it was going to take that leap of faith.  Mom was just a meter away patiently waiting while egging on her baby to finally fly.

If you noticed, there's an addition to the roof which is made of plastic.  I suspect the hand of our househelp.  They love these birds.  They watch over them everyday as well.
