GOING IN FOR THE GILL

NEVER mind being careful not to choke on your food, this mother bird has a bigger challenge on her hands, as her ravenous offspring impatiently launches its head down into her stomach. In true teenage style, this young Pied Cormorant proves that it's in not in the mood to wait around for dinner as it disappears inside its mother's gaping mouth to retrieve a fishy treat. These funny photographs were snapped by Australian photographer Ofer Levy, 51, after he spotted the hungry bird in Centennial Park, Sydney. 'Here you can see a young Pied Cormorant trying to get partially digested fish from the parent's crop,' said Ofer.
