So after stumbling across our resident tawnies Toni and Tony and their two surprise chicks on Wednesday, I woke up yesterday to find the little family in our backyard! 

Now I know you're not supposed to anthropomorphise and all that, but I don't care, I'm going for it: those birds thought it was time to show their babies around our yard and all the safe spots it has to roost in, as well as introduce them to our dogs. That's a hill I'm willing to die on. Fight me.

But it was so lovely to say hello to them all, the two chicks and mum all snuggled together on a branch and dad looking down (both literally and figuratively - sometimes they have THE most judgemental looks on their faces 😅) from a separate tree.

I've got some video that I'll work on later that's a scream, but just look at them giving the dogs the stink eye 😂
