A baby yellow wattlebird seen from below turns their head to look down at the camera

A second baby yellow wattlebird in a different tree seen from below, leaning forward as they peer past a thin twig that is definitely not hiding them

A third baby yellow wattlebird in a different tree again, surrounded by a cloud of gumnuts. They haven't spotted the camera and look like a whispy ball of fluff

The second baby yellow wattlebird hopped along to a diffrent branch to keep an eye on me as I walk by

@SallyMonster They grow out to be quite long, and they get rad face dangles (wattles) too https://mastodon.social/@Cheeseness/113422444543682847

@Cheeseness I do have a big soft spot for any bird with wattles. Australia has so many amazing birds. You are so lucky 💚

@SallyMonster I am very thankful to be able to hang out with these feathered friends. Wedge tails are my favourite (I am moved to tears every time I encounter one), but I love them all <3

@Cheeseness Wedge tails as in the eagle? I have never been so fortunate as to see one of those!
