Father and nestlings picture

Just wanted to share a picture of my three chicks (with Dad) in the nest...Seems like he is the better parent, as he's the one I've seen feeding them these last few days. I think they will be fledging any time now!

Not sure if this link will work (I wasn't sure if I could post a photo directly into the post) but if not, it's titled "Benji and chicks" in the "Chicks and Juveniles" gallery.

Nice little family.

I have found that the Zebra male makes the better parent more often than not. The hen is too focused on starting that next clutch.
