Photographer Phyo Moe, who is originally from Myanmar, captured this close-up of a mother bird about to feed her young. It was the ideal moment to snap this picture. The Hoopoe bird, a colorful species widespread in Europe, Africa, and Asia, was highlighted in “Mother’s Goodness.” Its orange feathered “crown” is what makes it famous.

A camera like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, which is excellent for both close-up and motion pictures, may have made this kind of macro photography conceivable. The speed of a hoopoe bird’s flight is 24.9 mph. It moves rather quickly even when it slows down to approach its nest, thus a good camera is needed to catch it.
