Request of food (Bubulcus ibis)

At this age of development, the chicks of this heron (Bubulcus ibis) are as large as their parents and have an insatiable appetite. When the mother returns to the nest, their food request is insistent, they snort the mother's beak in an obsessive manner until she regurgitates the food in their open mouth.
