Observation details

Fledgling being raised, feed & protected by a pair of Common myna's. Over the last 5/6 days it has been very vocal & appears to have the full attention of the pair of myna's who reside in palms in close proximity - assume they're the parasite hosts!! Up until now the fledgling has spent most of it's time calling from an Acacia tortilis tree, Poor quality pic's taken while the fledgling was heard calling in an adjacent Flamboyant tree (Delonix regia), this is first time it's been observed away from the acacia to which it returned after being disturbed. (Much to the relief of the myna's)!! Recordings of a feeding session to follow in the observation dated 2024-02-22.
