The upper item is from Random Hourly Duck Bot and shows a tiny duckling standing cutely on a computer keyboard, staring into the camera.  

The item immediately following is an article from Australia's ABC news network, with the headline "Small steps to make your home a habitat for native wildlife and birds".

A weka and her curious chick forage side by side at Lake Mahinapua - West Coast, NZ

These flightless birds are full of personality—and part of what makes New Zealand’s native wildlife so special.

A weka and her chick walk closely side by side across damp green grass. The adult weka has brown, speckled plumage and a long beak, while the fluffy chick is slightly darker and still downy, mimicking its parent's movements.
