Not any baby, but a Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) baby, and the mom kept her hidden. Always fun and games to search for the baby, as it is a real bird detective search, and the parents developed

It is amazing to see how the Egyptian geese babies have grown. There are 4 bird species in the community, and I wonder if you can identify them (10 shots). But not to worry, as I as usual will show you

...as usual I was at the right place at the right time, to get this fellow on camera. So, how's this? A white Mousebird sitting in the open on a white fence. What you will see in here, is a mousebird (4

We know that the starlings have babies to feed in the early spring season. They are Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio) and I like to tease them with a cheesy game, as people are scared of them,

The first one is a teenager, and the second one is still a baby. A typical teenager, out alone to investigate its new world, and I managed to get some good shots of it (4 shots). Then the little baby

It is amazing to see how the parents teach their children. We dared not to go outside as the damaging wind gusts were blowing wildly, and so I was forced to stay inside. But as usual I made a plan, as

Oh yeah, we were at a fund raiser for disabled children, and this guy popped up. He did not have an invitation to the Spring day cake sale fundraiser, and worst of all, he enticed me to be rude, as I jumped

Easy to get the blacksmiths into panic mode, just go near their nest. I know where they nest and I got them with their babies last spring season, and of course I posted it at the time. The one seemed convinced

It rained in the morning, and later on after it stopped, Robby popped in for a bath. In here you will see a Cape Robin-Chat (Cossypha caffra) bathing, and also a Pied Crow (Corvus albus) taking off from

I found the nest on a farm that borders on the mountains. It is the first week of feeding, and I could see that the babies of the Malachite Sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) hatched, as I timed the female coming

I posted it about 3, or 4 years ago, and the ones that are still here on Hive might remember it. So, we returned here, as we heard that a new coffee shop had opened up. I will show you some doves (5 shots),

The staff saw a snake, and it seems that the birds also knew that there was a snake around. So, these two friends, a Cape Sparrow and a Mousebird landed on a tree. I will break this story up into sections

Two species that are similarly colored, but quite different in size. In here you will see 4 shots of the male and his female, and then 4 shots of the other sunbird and his female. It was the one non misty

And yet again, I have to warn sensitive souls not to view this. In my previous Peregrine post that you can see HERE, I said that I had another post to do about the Peregrine, and this time he had a bigger

At first, I got this Guinea Fowl lady wearing the latest fashions. Lately women wear tight fitting pants, and you can see that Ginny, the Guinea fowl lady also had some tights on, but she covered her bum

Early morning and I was watching the beautiful cloud streams coming over. Then I saw some birds appearing from far away, and it looked like they were headed in my direction. It all worked out so great

Not only for us, as it is the same in featherland. I will show you two fights in here, the first one was between two male Cape Turtle doves (Streptopelia capicola), (6 shots), and the second battle was

A first for us to see this loving Cape White Eye couple (Zosterops virens) in action. And my first thought was that I must try this with my wife when we get back home. So, as soon as we got back, I waited

Some of us are so busy in life, that they find it difficult to smile. This guy, shall we call him Charly, illustrates his un-happiness at not finding food in the empty plate. Charly is a Cape Weaver (Ploceus

I saw the birds taking off from that tree and hoped that they would come over. Here is a relaxing Sunday read. They are Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio), and I will show you below where they
