Pied Avocent (Recurvirostra avosetta)
… the little pied avocets …
… so called precocial animals, which means, that …
… they go by themselves looking for food and the task of the parent is …
… to ensure the protection against enemies.
And so the pied avocets chick enjoys - a little bit tired from running around so much - its childhood and …
… is wondering maybe a little bit, what is growing there:
Even when the wings are not yet developed, so are …
… the long bent beak and the strong legs:
"I cannot master the big art of flying, but I can take care by myself for food from the first day!!!":
The parents in the meantime don´t have at all of a quiet minute, because …
… again and again they detect in the water or …
… also in the air potential enemies of their chicks, which …
… are chased away with loud fluting calls.
