for the start of the series (1 of 8).

Finally a day of sunshine; however, it was still darkish in the forest and there remained a greenish hue from the brightly coloured canopy leaves.

In the top image, both young are screaming "My turn, my turn...." The female young seems to scream the loudest and gets fed first.


The male young gets his turn too. Note how far down the adult puts its beak into junior's.
