Original: The things parents endure for their kids! The little fluffballs were hiding from the rain beneath their parents feathers
A wildlife photographer in Moreton Bay, Queensland has shared images of masked lapwing chicks sheltering from the rain beneath their parents' feathers. The photos capture the small birds tucked into the adult plumage while the parent sits through the downpour, a scene being shared as an example of what bird parents endure to protect their young.
Why now: The charming parental behaviour of the birds is delighting nature and wildlife photography audiences.
