Only birds 
Beautiful picture! I love the yellow flowers too! Proud mom and happy babies!
This tree is right in the middle of a street, houses on both sides. The birds were not too worried. That speaks about the trust they repose in the humans there. I was very happy to stand under the tree and gaze at them!
Beautiful! Would love to see such a sight in person. Thank you. J x.
