These stunning photographs show the lives of warbler chicks and their relationships with their mother, but while they may be birds, they have striking resemblance to our own children. All day long they sit around, tweeting, waiting for mum who is on a constant battle to keep them stocked up with food. Grumpy: These three chickens look unhappy that they've had to wait so long for food, unaware that their mum is just behind them with a treat Hungry: These chicks look shocked that their mother has returned without food Open wide: A grasshopper is brought to this waiting chick Incey wincey: The chicks will make easy work of this spider The demanding warbler chicks can't fly yet so they perch precariously on tree branches waiting for their mum to bring delicious grubs and grasshoppers and there's much excitement when they arrive. The images display the incredible lengths the mother birds will go to in order to feed their hungry brood who are just days old. The pictures, captured by photographer Octavianus Darmawan in Jakarta, Indonesia, show their incredible skill as they hover with the tasty treat and feed them in mid air. The 56-year-old said when he takes the pictures he can take anything from a few days to week to capture the perfect shot of the mother and her chicks together. He said: 'I take pictures to showcase the beauty of nature around me. Perched: This caterpillar's days are numbered as this chick prepares for its next meal Tweet me: They may be hungry but these young warblers expect mum to come to them with food Birdsong: A chorus emits from these youngsters competing for this delicious treat Fast food: The birds stand precariously on the thin branch as their mother comes and goes at great speed 'I'm always impressed when I see the mother birds feeding their chicks because I can see how difficult it can be to find food and raise their kids. 'They have to face dangers like snakes and cats and it can be a struggle but they work hard. 'I became appreciative of my own parents after watching these birds and it made me thankful for the struggle they'd gone through to teach me and raise me well.' Under pressure: A long-suffering mother passes a grub up to her chick who looks big enough to go and get its own food Pick me! Pick me! The two on the right compete for food while the chick on the left looks like its been elbowed out Midnight feast: There's no rest for this warbler parent as she continues foraging and feeding late into the night

19-Year-Old Girl Is Addicted to Eating Soap

Tempestt Henderson, a 19-year-old girl from Florida, has a rather peculiar addiction – she can’t help eating soap bars and washing powder. There are worst things to be addicted to, but this has to be one of the strangest.

The young girl remembers she loved the smell of washing powder on her mother’s cardigan and on her bed sheets, and so do many other people, but that doesn’t make them want to stuff their face with the toxic substance. But that’s exactly what Tempestt felt when she first dipped her fingers in washing powder and licked it off. ‘I dabbed the powder onto my tongue and it tasted so sweet, and salty…it just felt so right. I was hooked straight away.’ says the young nursing student.

She new that stuff was hazardous to her health, but she loved it so much she couldn’t stay away from it. From the moment she woke up, she would give in to her washing powder craving, ignoring the warning labels. Before she knew it, Tempestt began licking off the soap bubbles of her skin in the shower, and popping tiny chunks of soap in her mouth and suck on them. Eating soap felt much cleaner than just washing with it, and the young girl claims that at one point she would go through five bars of soap in a week.

Six months passed since her unnatural craving for soap and washing powder set in, and Tempest was finally beginning to realize the dangers she was exposing herself to, so she sought medical advice. She was immediately diagnosed with PICA, a rare condition that causes people to eat non-nutritive substances like metal, chalk and even sand. It’s usually caused by mineral deficiency, but in Tempestt’s case, the condition is believed to have been caused by stress. The girl’s boyfriend had broken up with her, before heading off to college, and she says that simply devastated her.

Regardless of what caused her to start eating soap and washing powder, Tempestt needed to stop as soon as possible, as the complications from ingesting such toxic chemicals were putting her life at risk. Doctors gave her intensive Cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help her think of positive things when she felt like eating soap, and also encouraged her to get out more, take long walks, and avoid places where soap or detergent are available, like bathrooms and laundromats…She’s using liquid soap now, and for some reason it doesn’t appeal to her at all.

Tempest Henderson has been “clean” since September 2010, and hopes she will never give in to eating soap or washing powder ever again, but she knows she still faces a long road of recovery.

Everything but trout pouts: Gobsmacking animal designs good enough to kiss

Artist Paige Thompson had a foxy idea when she puckered up in front of the mirror and started to paint these amazing animal designs - on her own lips.

Now her unique take on face-painting has become an Internet sensation, attracting thousands of followers to her website and sparking demand for new creations.

The 21-year-old was feeling bored when she stumbled across some Halloween make-up she had as a child and began to paint colourful and cute animals on her mouth before photographing them.

A red crab: Paige takes half an hour in front of a mirror to paint each creation

A red fox: An early creation and one of Paige's favourites 

A bumble bee: The first of Paige's 'Animal-ipstick' creations

She started with a bumblebee, then a fox, and as her menagerie grew she christened them 'Animal-ipsticks'. 

Paige takes half an hour in front of a mirror to paint each creation, starting with a base colour and adding details such as stripes, eyes and ears.

So far Paige has created a bumblebee, black cat, fox, crab, caterpillar, hippo, chameleon and panda, sticking to a basic pallette of red, blue, yellow, green, black and white.

Her childhood set of water-based paints came with a small brush but she has since bought other brushes to allow her to get better detail. But she refuses to spend money on expensive branded make-up.

A panda: 'There are so many animals I don't think I'll ever run out of ideas,' says Paige

Paige, from Texas, was inspired to try her own lipstick art after admiring the face-painting of other artists.

'I had virtually nothing to do around the house, so I tried my luck with some old Halloween face paint that we had used since I was a kid,' she said.

'My first animal-lipstick, the bumblebee, wasn't even formed as an idea until I painted my lips yellow and added some random black stripes. It was then apparent that a face was needed.

'I thought the result was cute, so I made a few more. I never imagined so many people would love these photos.'

A black cat: Paige's creations have left thousands of fans wanting more

A colourful Chameleon: 'Animnal-ipsticks' stem from boredom and an old set of Halloween paints

Paige continued: 'I chose to do animals because I had already done the bumblebee, so I thought I could expand upon the animal kingdom.

'After all, there are so many animals, I don't think I'll ever run out of ideas.

'My personal favourites are the bumblebee and the fox since those were two of my first, and most adorable, Animal-ipsticks.

'I'm not a huge makeup fan, but I am an art student and working with different mediums is fun and comes naturally to me.'

The next animals in line for Paige's lip-smacking treatment are be a jaguar, zebra, monkey, parrot and a dog.
