Juvenile Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)
Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) .
This flightless Juvenile Noisy Miner was found on the ground in a parkland somewhere near Brisbane, Australia. It must have fallen off the tree. The other noisy miners around it was raising alarm and creating a commotion, obviously they were upset that they had no way to bring this young one back into the safety of the nest.
I do not have a particular liking for this species, especially after witnessing how a gang of Noisy miners nearly killed a dove. However, I felt obligated to bring this young one to safety. I knew that if it is left alone, a dog or cat would have taken it as dinner in no time.
While standing over it, I took a few photos using my phone camera. Birding with a phone camera… this was the first for me, and the picture turn out pretty good.
A boy came over with his grandpa, he offered to take this bird home and care for it. This was a lucky bird…
