Best friends synchro 1 - American robin and brown headed cowbird fledglings

            This is a series of captures with a baby American Robin and a baby Brown-headed Cowbird. They both were standing on the same branch of a pine tree and mimicking each other. Not sure who was leading who but they were doing like a synchronized routine. First wings spread, then looking left then turned around right then looking down and finally grooming under their wing. 

I do not think the cowbird was raised by the Robins but it was coincidental they were about the same age and on the same branch wiating for their parents or in the cowbird case adoptive parent to come feed them. 
It was very interesting to watch them do what the other was doing and I hope it make sense in the following captures.
