Excellent !
Thank you!
I love these big babies, Takami ❤ Joys of motherhood, the same for any species.
They were very big, but still so “cute” in their natural instincts to be “babied” as much as possible. Thank you for your comment! ❤️
I love these, it is very powerful! Excellent shot!
Thank you! I am happy you like these birds 🙂
What lovely contrasting colours, Takami.
Thank you Jolandi. So happy you could stop by, and hope you’re doing well my friend.
Doing well, Takami. Very busy in the real world, neglecting the cyber world at the moment. 🙂 Hope you and your husband is also doing well.
Oh yes, we can certainly relate to being busy with Life! Always sending you both our best wishes.
She will!!
She was a very patient Mama 😉
Brilliant photos Takami. I remember jungle crows from my visits to Japan; they are very impressive birds.
Thank you, Mr. P 🙂
I am glad our crows left a (hopefully) good impression on you. They are such clever and charming birds. Even the teenagers 😉
Yes, your crows (and indeed, your country as a whole) left a very good impression. And as for teenagers I try to be tolerant of their occasionally irritating and boisterous behaviour, on the basis that I was one too (albeit a VERY long time ago!) 😊 Best wishes.
A good capture of family life!🙂
Thank you! 😀
🙂
What a nice capture, Takami. I always marvel at how untiringly animal parents care for their young. It must be exhausting!
Thank you Tanja ❤
Stunning shot … that’s a very hungry youngster!
Thank you Julie! Yes, they were 2 hungry (and very loud) young birds 😀
Hello Takami.
Lovely photos and I love the idea of this post. Thank you.
Have a good day!
Hello Mr. Matti,
I am happy you like this “crow family.” 🙂 The “babies” were very active and noisy.
Thank you always, for your warm comment. Wish you and your wife a good week!

Hi Sara-san, Gisela-san,
I appreciate your warm understanding.
And thank you again for your appreciation and nomination for my blog. Let’s continue to make great art 🙂 😀
Yes! Let’s do our best! 🌟🌟
Wonderful photos of this crow family!
Thank you Belinda! I am very happy you enjoyed the crows 🙂
I love these, Takami! I’ve never seen crows feeding their young, wonderful! As loud as our crows are in general, I bet those two juveniles were quite loud in begging! 🙂
Many Thanks, Donna! ❤
It was also my first time to view this moment with my own eyes. There was quite a commotion, I thought some birds were waging war. When I saw the source – these 2 "teenagers" – I couldn't help but laugh, and quickly snap some shots.
I love how the inside of the mouths are bright pink in the juveniles, and their eyes have a blue tint. I can imagine their parents are dreaming of the day they leave the nest 😀

Thank you! Very happy to read a comment from you 😃
you’re welcome!
I bet mom can’t wait for the day these two kids grow up!
Oh yes! She was very patient, but I could almost “read” her thoughts – “I can’t wait till these 2 leave the nest” 😉
You never cease to make me happy. Beautiful photographs. Thank you
Thank *you* for this comment. It made me happy and is very encouraging. I am happy you enjoy these crows. They are quite amazing (and far too under-appreciated) 🙂
They are my favorites. I just love them. The Bird Flu took most of our beautiful crows and now I only see one or two, every now and then. They used to bring their babies to my yard, so they could splash in the birdbaths and eat the seeds and peanuts I left for them. But that plague was a disaster. I miss they so very much.
I am so sorry that many of the crows fell prey to the Bird Flu. I can imagine how wonderful it must have been to see the parent crows bring their babies right to your yard. Crows are very intelligent, so they must have known there is a safe haven with you. Thank you very much for sharing this moment with me.
So very beautiful.
Thank you so much! Your comments are so encouraging.
😊
Oh no! Someone’s been doing that?
These two “teenage birds” simply refuse to grow up… 🙂
Wo0nderful shot! But those babies look ready to fly!
Thank you Noelle!
Yes, they are more than ready to fly, but they refuse to “grow up” it seems 😀
typical teens!
Amazing action shot, Takami! (And a lovely gift for Peter.)
Thank you so much Carol!
Peter has always been so supportive of my photography over the years, and I knew he loved crows. Therefore, I wanted to show a small gesture of appreciation 🙂
Thank you for all your encouragement too ❤
As usual, magnificent, Tibara. Many thanks for the bird pictures.
Than you Gilles. I am happy you liked it 🙂
Best wishes,
Takami
Superb !
Thank you! 🙂
Wonderful captures
Thank you very much Derrick. Much appreciated.
Suuuuuper !!!!!
Thank you!!
Excellent! Just what I was waiting for, as promised. And a beauty they are.Thank you!
Thank you very much! This post is dedicated to you. I hope this crow family brought a smile 🙂
It did, and continues to. Thanks again!
I have updated this post with a note to say it’s dedicated to you 🙂
It is an incredible honor, you’ve done for me, Takami. May I re-blog this in my appreciation?
The honor is mine!
I’d be flattered if you choose to re-blog.
parents feeding their chick?
Yes, that’s correct. One patient parent with two noisy chicks 🙂
