This was the moment a local adult Kookaburra "adopted" a rescued young (from another area). It is seen here feeding the youngster with a garden skink.

Interesting...!!
time to eat!
@alicelongmartin - We "test" first with the young bird in a cage for protection. Sometimes they get ignored, sometimes attacked, and sometimes this happens!
I never knew birds would be surogate Mothers.Quite a picture to catch.
That's great. I love the little ones when they start to learn how to "laugh" and they're making that funny wheezy sound.
