The first three Magpie Robin birds are probably siblings of the family of the a pair of the Magpie Robins in the last two pictures.
The two adult birds stayed on their stations, one on a branch of bush and another one on the cable at a close distance from the three young birds, watching them take short jumps and flights and search for their food in the grass,
It is now three weeks since I have noticed these birds in the morning in a nutmeg tree and often in the grass. I suspect that they have their nest in the hollow of the nutmeg tree.
It is the different tuneful bird calls that alerted me today evening when it was almost getting cloudy.
This is the second family of Magpie Robins I noticed nesting near our cottage during this year.
I noticed how both the adult birds flew down near them when a wood pecker arrived on a coconut tree close by,
The adult birds had their protective eyes on the three.
Birds brings some message or other all the time- today it was something on bird development process. Both parents equally watch over the young ones during the early period of their lives!
I wonder whether birds are more dedicated than humans in this role!
