I think the masked canary on the left is mouldy. The unripe ones are green.
I prefer to call chidiya (in hindi langauge) which is cutest word itself means bird only :)

This meme keeps turning up on my feed…
It never really seemed quite right to me, so I had to look it up.

I couldn’t find the OP but I remember seeing a photo of a warbler feeding a cuckoo chick as a “selfless young bird feeding a helpless elderly bird”.

Sometimes I wonder if we have deliberate nature fakers producing some of these memes. I still sometimes see the one with the weasel on the woodpecker’s back.
