I saw this little guy on a walk a while ago. At first I thought it was just a tree stump, but up close I knew better. The mother lay dead a few feet away and when I walked nearer a menacing magpie was flappy frantically around his head. I shooed it away and went to pick up little guy, but he flew away and tried to reach a near tree. Walking towards me were a group of golfers and as I was at the edge of the golf course I decided not to risk my head! I always wonder what happened to little guy.
I hope he grew up to be like the featured image.

Oh haha it does look like a tree stump. But definitely a cute stump.
He’s so cute!
awww isn’t it lovely – I am sure it survived if mother still close by 🙂
Sadly the mother was already dead 😢
oh I misread it – on ho, that’s so sad . . .
I suppose that’s mother nature for you
It is unfortunately
Awww- I hope it’ll be ok! Kookaburra’s are so beautiful.
Yes they are, I’ve never seen a baby one before
I’d like to think so too, but sadly, experience tells me it won’t be so.
Oh, what a funny looking little guy. Hope he’s doing well.
What a lovely little chap! Hope he’s a survivor 🙂 🙂
What an encounter! I hope the little guy made it ok.
Me too, I’ll always wonder
Looks so cute, let’s hope he’s progressing well!
It’s a Tawny Frogmouth chick 🙂
How sweet he looks, and how forlorn. I hope he made it too.
That is very sad.
Yes it was ..that’s nature for you
