Have you ever seen this?

This is the first time I have seen this and I didn’t know finches would do this. I saw a red headed parrot finch feed a baby zebra finch. I didn’t know they would do that. It’s not like the parents weren’t feeding it. I had no idea that different kinds of finches would feed other birds babies :shock:

It does happen. I think it's just an instinctive behaviour, you see a big open mouth, you hear begging, you feed. It is cute to watch, and just goes to show, that it takes a community flight, to raise a chick :-D.

Me??? Not me! It has been over 25 years between this aviary and the last. I am relearning it all over again! :?
