Skye Young, A Spangled Drongo bird protecting its young. (ANIMALS 2022)

I was lucky enough to witness a spangled drongo baby bird learning to fly for the first time out the front of our house. The mother and father kept a very close eye on their little baby bird while she flew from tree to tree and had little naps in pot plants in between. I'm unsure whether this is the father or mother bird in this picture I took but it is protecting its young nonetheless.
