Unlike young children juvenile birds want to swallow anything elders give them. But what if the juicy green caterpillar looks too large?
No problem, young Red-backed Fairy-wren might have said (could it but speak) in Town Common today.
Playing with your food isn't always such a bad thing. Bit of a flick and twist of the head wraps caterpillar up.
No need to slurp it spaghetti fashion. Open wide and down she goes.
Who says kids won't eat their greens?
