Any sightings of Uno recently?

Early yesterday he visited the nest. I haven't seen him since then, but others might have.


Elo's in the nest right now, eating left over fish.

NORI eating and doing flapping exercises at once. Multitask! she's a female for sure!


No more hungry (the fish lies on the nest) but the wing training continues. Go, go, NORI!

NORI: "Hhhmmm let's see those wings of mine... Are they large enough to fly already?"


Holy mother of God, I almost JUMPED out of my chair a few minutes ago. There was a moment back then when NORI just ran to the edge of the nest flapping his/her wings and in the last moment... he/she STOPPED!

Little troll NORI! Don't shock me like this

ELO arrives


Detects the fish and begins to eat.


Noisy chirps, someone is responding on the distance... (UNO? mum? dad?)



NORI has been jumping and flapping in the edge of the nest. He/she is making me crazy!

I have not seen UNO for quite a while. Have anyone seen him lately?

Nori went flat, but I don't know why

[meierlein]

:peek:

PIRET arrived upstairs

[Wisteria]

Now Nori's singing a song about it.

[alice44]

The mic is a bit close -- but Nori seems to have things to say and maybe Piret is singing of the joys of wind in feathers.



(When they fly high over the river about 15 blocks from my house I can clearly hear them -- their calls carry well over distances.)

[Wisteria]

That's not very polite, Nori

[meierlein]

:peek:

PIRET

"Baby - you should fly with your siblings -
not hanging around in the nest all time!"

tricky NORI

OK Mum - but first I am training,
to fly with a fish" ^^

[Wisteria]

Piret just took the fish!

She really wants Nori to fly.

oh! Piret came down from the cam support - and took the fish that Nori did not eat



Piret preparing to take off

[Kapa]

Piret took the left-over fish...

Maybe if we stop watching, Nori will soar! Please, Nori!
