How birds keep their nests clean

Tlapp, on March 9, said:

Before defecation, nestlings give their parents signals, then they raise their rumps and...one of the parents takes the droppings with its beak and flies away with them (where? I've yet to look into that).

Nic nie ma prawa się tam dostać (oprócz innych ptaków) chyba, że koty nauczą się łazić po ścianach :) Pozdrawiam.

Very educating picture about birds behaviour. I noticed myself, in the first days of the offsprings, the parents can even eat the feces of the youngs. But when nestlings are a little bit older, they put the droppings away of the nest. (with canaris). Excellent shot. Boumlik
