Mother birds feeding their chicks, Jakarta, Indonesia - Mar 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Octavianus Darmawan/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1294354d )
Beautiful Bird Behaviour
A photographer has spent years capturing the incredible lengths mother birds go to when feeding their hungry chicks.
Just like for humans, parenthood appears to keep these mother birds on their toes.
Some of the astonishing pictures show days-old chicks precariously balanced while their long-suffering mother hovers above with a tasty treat.
The parents display incredible skill when it comes to dinner time, feeding their offspring in mid air or gingerly edging along tiny twigs to get to their brood.
The heart-warming pictures were taken by amateur photographer Octavianus Darmawan near his car service station in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The 56-year-old can spend anything from a few days to weeks capturing the perfect shot of mother and her chicks together.
He said: "I take pictures to showcase the beauty of nature around me.
"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."

Tern chick falls over trying to swallow a fish, New Jersey, America - 20 Jul 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jim Gilbert / Solent News / Rex Features ( 1210469b )
This tiny chick bit off more than he could chew after trying to swallow his enormous fish supper in one gulp.
The hungry baby Tern had waited patiently for his meal and, when it arrived, wasted no time in trying to gobble it up. But his eyes were too large for his little stomach and as he struggled to swallow the enormous bluefish he toppled over under its weight - It did however eventually finish it's meal.
Photographer Jim Gilbert snapped these incredible pictures in New Jersey, USA.
See our copy for the full story.
Pictured, the parent bird swoops in with the fish, and chicks at the colony get excited.
Please byline
Big Fish Dinner Causes A Tern-Over
These wonderful pictures show a tiny tern chick biting off a bit more than it could chew after its mum presented it with a fish for its lunch.
The adult tern swooped in with a young bluefish in its beak to feed its four fluffy youngsters who were waiting on the sandy beach below in New Jersey, America.
The greediest of the brood got to the catch first and proceeded to cram the fish into its beak, oblivious of the fact that its meal was not all that smaller than its own body.
With eyes much bigger than its bird belly, the baby tern managed to squeeze the fish's head into its craw before realising that it wasn't going down much further without some serious effort.
At which point the cheeky chick promptly overbalanced and fell over.
Not to be deterred, it struggled about on its side as the fish gradually slid down its throat, leaving the chick feeling more than a little full.
Fortunately, mum was there to sit over her protectively as the long process of digestion took its course.

First Miniature Piglets of the Year born at Pennywell Farm in Devon, Britain - Feb 2009
MINIATURE PIGS SET FOR WORLD DOMINATION
This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed at home Ö and these little piggies decided to hog the limelight.
Though they may only be tiny, the smallest pig breed in the world is actually growing - in numbers that is.
The tiny swine are only bred at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon, and are a variant of the rare kune kune breed, which is found in New Zealand.
And, after a ten year long breeding programme to perfect the pint-sized porker, farmer Chris Murray is starting to reap the benefits.
Ten more perfect piglets, the first of the year, have just been born - swelling the numbers of the rare breed further.
When the pocket porkers are first born they are just five inches long and three of the animals can fit into the palm of one hand.
When fully grown they are no bigger than a cocker spaniel and weigh up to 80kg.
According to breeder Chris, who believes the animals are too small to be economically used for meat, the half-pint-sized piglets make ideal pets. They are, he says, naturally clean, very clever, and easy to keep.
However, despite the animals' popularity, Chris is careful who he sells them to; he limits sales to between 30 and 50 a year, and only sells them as pairs so they don't get lonely.
And the pocket pets are even more difficult to get hold of now.
After the animals found world-wide fame last year Pennywell was bombarded with hundreds of thousands of letters and emails from prospective owners.
The p...

Humboldt Penguin chicks being hand-reared at Flamingo Park, Seaview, Isle of Wight, Britain - 22 Apr 2008
P-P-P-P-PROTECT A PENGUIN
These cute chicks have been hand-reared by staff at an animal park on the Isle of Wight after fears were raised that their clumsy parents could squash them.
In previous years penguin chicks from the Seaview Flamingo Park have been killed after their loving, but careless, parents flattened them while sitting on them to keep them warm.
Due to this, this year's brood of Humboldt chicks were taken to safety away from their heavy parents; they now enjoy the warmth of an office and are being hand-fed a liquidised fish mix three times a day.
The Humboldt chicks range from two days to three weeks old and still have their soft, velvety grey feathers.
Humboldt penguins are one of the most endangered of the penguin species. Since most healthy adult penguins fear few land predators they have little natural fear of people, which has made them an easy target for human hunters and egg gatherers.

Paris Fashion For S/s 2008......the Stella Mccartney Show. Stella Mccartney's Dresses Billowed Down The Catwalk Knitwear Was Loose. There Was A Floral Riot On The Stella Mccartney Catwalk Today As Models In Silk Voile Dresses Printed With Multicoloured Blooms Walked Out Looking Pretty As Pictures And Managed The Unthinkable A Smile. Models Are Notorious For Looking Sultry It Is Almost Written In Their Contract Not To Grin. But Perhaps Because The Clothes Were So Feminine They Couldn't Help Themselves. More Likely Mccartney Told Them To. She Has After All Built Her Reputation Around 'knowing What Makes Chicks Tick' And A Procession Of Smiley Models Is More Likely To Connect With Women Than A Succession Of Glowering Ones. Mccartney Has Found A Winning Formula And Is Sticking To It. All Her Signature Looks Were Here: A Loose Chiffon Tea Dress Worn Over A Mannish Cream Tailored Jacket A Spaghetti Strap Dress Of Thin Parachute Silk With Flounces And Tiers To The Hem And The Floorskimming Wide-leg Trousers Which Always Lend A Seventies Feel To Her Collections. So Many Other Designers Are Hell-bent On Reinventing Themselves Every Season That The Customer Never Knows Quite Where She Stands. But If Your Idea Of Easy Summer Dressing Is To Wear A Cotton Loose-knit Cardie Over A Billowing Silk Sundress Mccartney Is Your Woman. Key To The Show Were The Loose Silk Voile Dresses And Playsuits In Blue And Brown Paisley A Bold Multicoloured Floral Print Or A More Washed-out Version For Evening. Cobalt Blue With Loose Satin Shirt Dresses Sported Rolled Up Sleeves. Hand-carved Wooden Clogs Were Mccartney's Latest Way To Avoid Using Leather. Swimwear Was Fifties-style Or Seventies La Particularly A Dolphin-printed Vest Top Worn With Tiny Shorts And Matching Cardigan. Tailoring Also Had Its Roots In The Seventies. Tuxedos Were Thrown Over The Lightest Silk Dresses For A Masculine/feminine Mix. Ever Caring About The E...

THREE WISE ORPHANS
If appearances are any guide , the wisdom of patriarchs has been acquired in three short weeks of life by these baby tawny owls at the London Zoo .
The three orphans were found when a decayed tree crashed at Mitcham , Surrey .
A local resident saw them lying on the ground and informed the people's Dispensary for sick Animals . After a night's lodging at the P.D.S.A. headquarters in London they were transferred to the zoo - where they are much happier than they look .
1 May 1949
