It is not common to notice Barbets feeding together and engage in communication! They feed privately and are less communicative. But here he last five photographs show a language of togetherness and engagement.
The meal times are such occasions to stay in touch with each other. Giving attention to listen and interact would make meal times refreshing.
I recall how in a family table in a home, at supper, each person takes turn to tell an experience or an event or a story ! Listening to the narratives I felt included in the family ambience.
I recall the yeas of a similar practice at supper time when our children were younger, when they had lot to say about school experiences. It was also practice to read a story that children would benefit form, while we were still at the table after finishing the meal. Often that led to the family prayer time!
A meal time is an occasion to feel near to each other and have endearing conversations.
