Inside a gourd-shaped bottle at a peaceful country house..
Found some birds!
10 baby titmice, in total
Informant: While I was having a meal, my husband went a mother titmouse just flew into the bottle
So we came out to have a look
Then, we found her eggs
By coincidence, They found the titmice family lol
Soon after
The mother titmouse came by with the food
However, she doesn't go any closer to her babies
Guess she's looking out, so we should probs..
Crew : Shall we back off a bit?
As the crew takes a step back,
Jump!
Finally, she goes closer to feed the baby titmice
It's mommy!
Today's menu is a protein-rich bug!
(Poo+1)
Not to leave any trace to stay away from the enemies' radar
She even goes for a poo collection visiting service
A few minutes later
Mommy titmouse came back with the food.. Huh?
It's two of them, mother and father. Both do all (the parenting)..
Daddy
Y'all feel hungry?♥
They're true 'working parents' :)
Parenting 10 siblings must be tiresome fo sho
But as they have each other's back, the couple can pluck up the spirit!
(Poo+2)
Husband: They come and go every five minutes or so
Father-in-law: Can't help the instinct for their kids
Nevertheless,
Out of all the pots and bottles,
Why does it have to be that gourd-shaped bottle?
The grandpa has a say for that
There's a crack here
Now that we're thinking, other pots are filled with water, but..
So to speak, it's a perfect habitation
for that bird to live in. That's probably why.
As the titmouse couple's gourd-bottle parenting goes on,
There came a few changes amongst the people as well
Looking out
Uh? What
While they're on their way to go out
She's there, on the wire
Disturbed
I feel like we're bothering them feeding (their babies), not by intention..
Due to their meticulous care,
The titmouse couple's now at ease in parenting their kids
So as time goes,
The babies are growing by leaps and bounds :)
Tickling
Fluttering
Are yo guys hungry?
Mommy titmouse is luring the babies to make them step out of the pot
Mommy why aren't yo comin' in?
Step out if yo wanna have it :)
Just like that, the babies
Are about to bring out their very first flapping..!
The next day
Suddenly came a pouring shower
Mommy titmouse flies away to take shelter from the rain
Thud
In an urgent situation
Would the baby titmice be able to fly away from their home safe and sound?
