Tiny Tawny-flanked Prinias (Prinia subflava) are widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa. These pert little birds prefer vegetation along the edges of waterways and other habitats with rank grass and shrubs. Tawny-flanked Prinias mainly eat insects and other invertebrates, although they sometimes take nectar. This adult Tawny-flanked Prinia was trying to coax its overfed chick to swallow a relatively large beetle larva, but the chick resisted for several minutes until it finally accepted the food from its parent, then defaecated.
