There’s nothing like the love of a mother. They care for their little ones so much, that they sometimes have to sacrifice comfort, energy, time, and also themselves, so that they can follow their duty in the best way possible. This does not only exist in human beings, but it is also clearly seen in wildlife. The following series of photos capture mama birds doing their job as genuine motherly protectors – expect a lot of fluffiness and cuteness!
