Fast food: The birds stand precariously on the thin branch as their mother comes and goes at great speed

'I'm always impressed when I see the mother birds feeding their chicks because I can see how difficult it can be to find food and raise their kids.

'They have to face dangers like snakes and cats and it can be a struggle but they work hard.

'I became appreciative of my own parents after watching these birds and it made me thankful for the struggle they'd gone through to teach me and raise me well.'

Pick me! Pick me! The two on the right compete for food while the chick on the left looks like its been elbowed out

A mother's work is never done
