They are funny things. If the adult birds are down on the ground having a supplementary feed of seed and the young ones come along and try to eat from the same dish, they're sent packing by the adults. They won't let them anywhere near the food. But then, the adults will fly up into a tree and happily regurgitate the chomped up seed into a waiting line of squawking kids. As I type this, that is exactly what's happening just outside.
