That's very cool Ely.
Which makes me wonder, do birds know how to count?

 Thank you Teddy, Bob, and Romy. I have a short video of them being fed. I still have to learn how to process and post it. Looking for someone who could give me the instructions.

Great that you got footages, Ely. You can always film birds, in addition to taking stills, whenever you have an opportunity. Processing and editing the footage can be done later when you learn how to do it. Not sure if you have a background in video processing, but there are many online resources to start you along. Try to read as much literature as possible, and when you hit a brick wall, you can post specific questions here. Here's a good link to start you off: www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/video-primer.shtmlEditing 5D2 video at full HD is somewhat more complicated than processing stills (in terms of computer hardware, software and workflow) because such high res video (1920 x 1080 pixels) is relatively new. But don't get discouraged, I myself started in video just a few months ago. |

Another excellent documentary of these orioles, Ely! Agree with the Mastah, this is perfect for video!  |

Thank you Mark & Sylvia. I have seen the Mother going back and forth feeding each of her young birds several times. Each & every bird gets fed. She does not stop until they are satisfied and goes to sleep. Sometimes the Berry would fall off the mouth and she would go get a new one. This is the reason why she inserts her beak into the throat of the little bird to see to it that the Berry is swallowed. When all the birds are asleep, she would pick up the fallen Berries from the nest and eat it. I suppose it also prevents ants from going to the nest. What Love a Mother has that she feeds all her brood before she herself gets to eat. It may be of interest for you to know that the whole family flies together to a nearby fruit tree, singing & eating to their hearts delight. All is well that ends well.

Thank you for introducing me to your forum. I did see the oriole flying around but I didn't know what she was up to. Thank you for capturing the activity. I am sure it was not disturbed by you because I saw the oriole in heavy golf traffic, unmindful or trusting all the humanoids around.
Congratulations!!!
