Sorry, but not all babies are cute. These young Anhinga were even worse a week or so ago. Even now not all that pretty…
Here’s a creepy little Anhinga fact, when being fed by an adult they will push their head right down the parents throat… way down !
Like I said, strange birds.
Hilarious and really quite gorgeous in their own way.. unusual colours! Is it unusual to have 4 chicks survive to this age?
Good question, I’m not sure but Anhinga have big broods. Most around here have 3 chicks.
This year the fatality rate seems to be down on all the birds, but there are less nests too I think.
They are not pretty but so adorable! And they are also very aggressive during feeding. I learned it today from you, Ted. And that is too sad.
If I were the adult I would go out for food, and head straight for Paris.
