Elo must be thinking: enough is enough, now it is my turn.
Nori turned her back towards him, bringing up and down her feathers several times.

21:59 - Delivery of a late night snack. Uno and Nori first row. Uno gets first after Piret takes some bites herself. After a while Nori gets some bites too. Noone is going to sleep with an empty crop.

22.14 - Feeding is done. Nori had trouble swallowing the last bites with his more than filled crop. :mrgreen:
Contented 'chup chup chup'-sounds from Nori. Nothing for Elo this round.

22.oo

That looked like a lesson.

Piret shoving the fish, which Madis just brought, towards Uno and waited.
Uno did nothing, then Piret grabbed the fish at the tail.
She always grabs them behind the head.
Piret waited again, nothing happened.
Then Piret grabbed the fish behind the head, doing everything in slow-motion, as if showing the chicks how it is done.
Feeding started.

Have a very nice evening.night/day all, untill sunday :wave:

Uno and Nori shared this meal, Elo got nothing, again the tail for Piret and some leftovers for Nori. The sandman is coming, the chicks huddle together in the center of the nest dreaming of fish, enemy birds and Urmas.

Elo who also got disturbed by Piret moving this branch, sees what Nori does, and interpretes this as Nori being defiant. Elo threatens Nori, without actual pecking, but the message was clear. Nori submits and bows his neck.

:hi: Kukelke and thanks for your fine observation :2thumbsup:

I can add to this the very beginning of this, because there was a reason why Nori stand up.
After feeding ended Piret wanted to flew upstairs, but Madis was there so as usual she then decided to get more nestmaterial - a new twig which she also decided to balance to the other side of the nest
Image
but Piret obviously lost the grab and it fell over Nori who didn´t want this on the back and then stood up which Elo percieve as a provocation
Image
and the result
Image

also thanks to others for observations during the day :2thumbsup:

:hi: jopie have a nice weekend

Chicks are developing rapidly still.
Elos nice attempt to eat this morning. And during the day it´s also seen that especially Elo and also Uno do walk upright on their legs for longer time than until now.
And at the delivery at 20.50 how Uno and again especially Elo did handle that Madis left the fish between them. Although Elo is number two he/she seems to develop skills a bit earlier than Uno

18.02 Elo right up on the legs
Image

20.50 just after Madis came to nest with fish placed between Elo and Uno
Image

have a good night or day

:cry: Please do not pick on Elo! Piret whacked her over the head with that branch, she looked around and maybe thought Nori had done it (I was watching then). Human siblings can be harder on younger ones than that, but they are not evil.

"Elo" means "life"


edit: I tried Felis' suggestion for making an animation

I was not watching in the interval, but

9:03 Piret lands on the nest
Image

Image

She did not bring food, so the chicks go back to preening. Piret moves a branch and then goes up to the cam support.
