Just thought I would share this little fellow with you. He appears on my terrace as soon as I sit down in the shadow, asking to be fed.

I wonder if he has a mental disorder, thinking he is a wood grouse. He drops his wings and spreads his tail, just like the wood grouse's mating display.

K200D, 18-55mm MkII kit lens at 55 mm, f/8 1/90.
Best regards
Terry

Don’t fledglings do that to encourage the parents to feed them?

Yes, they do, but this one sort of overdoes it

It seems to work judging by the size of the snack
