    This really made me smile with their expressions and I can only imagine the sort of conversation going on here
    Chick: "I thought the deal was you were supposed to be feeding me. I want food and I want some now!"
    Parent " You want more...???!!!???"

    This is an adorable image and that chick has so much personality with his feathers all ruffled. Super perch and BG. Well done on image and a great story.

    If this were mine, I'd be very tempted to perform eye surgery on the bird to the left to retouch the membrane covering the eye. However, that's your call in its entirety.

    Great interaction.

    I'd do something unconventional here and center the birds in the frame. All the space on the right doesn't add anything and makes it feel unbalanced to my eye. Love the birds and their interaction. The membrane showing is as expected on the one being harassed and I think it's part of the story. Nice capture.

    Beautiful capture of a most interesting subject, with an excellent perch and background as well. And thanks for the story behind the image.

    Very cool! I don't recall ever seeing an image with two thrashers perched up like this...the image has "unique" appeal...and it's well photographed...Good perch to use in this light quality as it's less reflective than many other perch surfaces might be. I like Grace's suggestion regarding composition....
