Hadeda chicks

This Hadeda family calls our garden home. They love to sit on the garden wall in the late afternoon to preen. They do an amazing job to control the insect population as is evident from the mud on their beaks. Some people harbour ill feeling towards these birds because of their load call. I find them fascinating and they are quite handsome.
