This is a young Red Wattlebird in a native frangipani. The parents still feed it and its sibling, although less frequently. The parents have nested in various places in our yard for several years, often having four or even five clutches a year. The adult male hates me with a vengeance as I've rescued his babies from perilous situations on several occasions. He doesn't perceive my actions as helpful, even though on each occasion, if I hadn't intervened, the baby would have died or been killed. His name is Snap 'n' Glare.
