These are olive-backed sunbirds.
The adult bird moves quickly at this point so it's a challenge to take a photo. I don't know if the adult bird is a male or female. I don't want to assume. You can see the adult bird on the left side of the photo and it has food in its beak.
I have entered this in some contests as well here in steemit before.
These photo was taken in a tree in one of the trees surrounding the pool in a hot spring resort here in our place. I was resting under this tree when I heard incessant chirping that made me curious as to where it was coming from. I looked up and saw this the adult bird. I did not see the nest right away.
When I did see it, I hurriedly got up and took my camera. I used Nikon D5000 for this.

I absolutely love this photo! The motion in it from the bird just blends in. And the baby birds are so cute!

That is a pretty good shot, considering that you must not have had a lot of time to find them. I have taken photos of hummingbirds before with my phone, and that was nearly impossible!

Now that is a challenge I want to do. I have not seen hummingbirds in person. Those sunbirds are the closest to hummingbirds that we have here.

Oh they are. They would quickly grab whatever the adult bird would bring them so fast I cannot time it with my cam lol!

I nearly missed the mother bird though. The timing is the best.

I almost missed it too when I was taking photos. I have to be quick bexause the chicks would only come out when fed.
