great interaction, although whatever is coming out of the adults gut looks pretty nasty! Both birds are super sharp.

Mom is teaching it to swallow something really, really big and ugly.

Well composed and sharp, but the whites are a little undercooked to me. Also, there is some distinct chromatic aberration on the back and head of the adult.
