Baby Bird

Tonight while dining out I experienced something usually only seen on National Geographic. A mother bird feeding her baby. Not the feathered kind but a human one. The mother was feeding her child with a straw, not in the normal sense but in the eye dropper to a kitten method. She kept dipping the straw into the unknown beverage and then dropping it into the baby's open mouth. The most amazing part of the whole process was the baby was drinking out of a cup, which really made me wonder why mother bird was nourishing the child in this method.
