How NOT to Feed Your Kids

While I was taking some general pictures, I noticed something funny going on. The parent tern brought some fish home, but it didn't want to give it to the chick. Why not? It turned out it was the wrong chick! But the kid was hungry, and kept pursuing the adult for the food:

All the while, the right chick was standing right nearby, but was too intimidated to do anything:

Then, finally, the wrong chick was able to snatch the fish away:

But the adult wouldn't have it, and tried to pry the fish away even after the wrong chick had swallowed it!

In case you are wondering, the chick won :)
