Cry for food

The Paradise-flycatcher is also the most beautiful one among birds. It is also called the phoenix. It attracted bird lovers to observe, shoot and record against all odds. I have been shooting for nearly a month from the time I found them building nests to the time when birds came out of their shells and flew away from their nests. This interesting and warm scene is hard to track and shoot, but it is also happy. This photo was taken on the roof of the farmer's house, because the ribbon birds have taken their young birds out of the nest to stand on the branches to feed and teach them to take off. The next day, they will fly away under the guidance of their parents, and just caught the last moment of their crying for food on this tree.
