Every January 5th, dozens of children in the United States wake up excited by the prospect of birdwatching. National Bird Day, now in its 14th year, is dedicated to the enjoying and preservation of our fine feathered friends. This year, organizers are encouraging people to take the “captive bird video pledge” and promise not to share videos of captive “pet” birds.
For those of you who can't or wont go out to bird watch, this list of birds with their babies is for you. Which one do you think is the cutest? Do you have any pictures of birds with their little ones? Vote, or post your own photos below!

Ummm...no you're way off folks....this is a male plover. Mr. Mom take care of the chicks, while mom goes off to look for another mating opportunity. Get your facts straight people. Always underestimating the males.
Looks like an accident waiting to happen!! LOL This mama can sure handle it, though!
Imagine what it sounds like when they run. Patpatpatpatpatpatpatpatpatpat....
Moms are an incredible species in every animal form, not limited to just human moms.
Ummmm....wrong. This is a male plover and he prefers to be called Mr. Mom. Check your facts people.
So? The title is not "Mommy Birds Taking Care of Their Babies," it's just "Birds Taking Care of Their Babies," and the average person on the street is not an expert in bird gender identification. Ease up with the high horse stuff.

well i know sometimes i need more than one hand but i guess more legs won't hurt.
Is that a killdeer? Those are one of my favorites because of the way they protect their nests (fane injury) My daughter and I also like their rhythmic step. We laugh and count... 1,2,3,4,5. Break-stop. 1,2,3,4,5,6...oops, he miscounted. Lol. We've never seen them with their young! Thank you for this incredible photo. They recently flattened their habitat, making way for construction of some sort. I miss seeing them. Habitat loss breaks my heart.
Great way to recycle. If it's a stinky old boot, do the birds care?
beautiful photos. The offspring of a swan is a cygnet, not a signet. LH
This reminds me of a Robin that laid her eggs on my porch a few years ago. Whenever she was gone I would climb a ladder and take photos of the progress of chicks after the eggs hatched . It was a great experience . The mother returned and caught me on the ladder, she raised bloody hell. I quickly went into the house. A few days later the chicks were gone. They must have flown the coup.
I absolutely love swans. They are so beautiful and so graceful. I didn't know until recently that they carried their little ones under their wings. That made them even more beautiful to me.
Starlings drive me crazy every year because they gobble up all of the bird food at the feeders until it's gone, even with the suet! They're hogs! This nice pic makes them look a lot prettier than they are! If only they would share....
None of these are juveniles (which have black beaks) so it shouldn't be here
Lovely pictures pity the birds were not identified that would have made them perfect.
All of them are, pass the mouse onto the pic slowly, you'll see the comment with the name of the bird.

Wonderful, I would have liked to have them identified, wasn't able to do see that.

All of these pictures are amazing and show a mother's love for her children. I cannot believe the places they choose to build their nests and some are so fragile. God's beauty.
