Found a house wren doing an insect(?) delivery to what looks like another adult? The in-hole bird looks older than a nestling. Do the males of this species bring females snacks during nesting? Is it nesting material?

A wren pokes its head out of a tree hole with a beak holding some food? or nesting material?

After some reading, I’m guessing it’s an almost-fledgling being fed by a parent. The other nestling/fledglings here like robins and house finches look a bit more of a mess-of-a-bird so my calibration is off 😂

This bird's probably wondering if I'm ever gonna go leave. I came back the next day with some good daytime light.

A small bird sits on a thin branch of a toyon. Its beak open whlie it sings.
The bird faces the nesting hole to deliver some food to its nestlings. A rippling grey-black-brown pattern follows the outer wing feathers and down the tail features.
