Time to eat…Beautiful baby bird, Garrulax Elliotii, seen in Jiuzhai Valley, Sichuan Province (China) (6 photos)

After getting in Jiuzhai Valley National Park, we took park’s shuttle bus all the way to its final destination, the Virgin Forest or the Primeval Forest, along the Rize Valley, at an altitude of 10,000 ft. While walking in the woods, I heard a baby bird chirping restlessly nearby. I walked very slowly toward that chipping sound. Finally, I spotted that beautiful baby bird chirping and flapping its wings constantly so close to me. Then an adult bird, maybe this baby bird’s mom or dad, brought a piece of potato chip and fed the little bird. Right after the feeding, another adult bird brought a piece of potato chip. So I guessed they must be this baby bird’s mom and dad.  What a lovely moment!  By the way, the name of this kind of bird is Garrulax elliotii or Elliot's Laughingthrush.


Hi Baby, calm down, the food is all yours (baby bird was flapping his/her wings like crazy)




Adult bird is looking for food.
