UNO is doing exercises
flapping and jumping high

"dont fly away UNO - your siblings need your help eating fish etc. ^^"

14:03h

PIRET landed upstairs

chicks (especially NORI ^^) at once started discussions with her

14:13h



fish delivery

14:13 - Madis delivers a fish and leaves straight away.


14:14 - Nori tries a bit in the middle and Uno starts to eat from the fish for real, trying to crack the difficult headpart.


14:17 - Success for Uno, the head is off and he starts to eat like an adult. Nori watches and learns.


14:27 - Madis lands again on the nest and delivers another fish. Piret jumps down.

14:29 - Elo is eating herself from the second fish.

14:30 - Elo finds it more fun to play in the wind and exercise her wings than to eat from that fish. Piret takes over the fish, and flies of shortly after - with the fish.

14:32 - Elo takes the first fish which Uno started with previously, and tears off some bites.

14:38 - Nori's turn to eat from the first fish. Soon Nori covers the fish by sitting on it... "it's MINE!".

14:42 - And another fish delivery by Madis.

14:46 - Nori eats from the first fish. The third fish is not interesting enough for Uno and Elo who rather play a bit in the strong wind.

14:48 - Uno claims the first fish from Nori. Nori moves on to the unattended third fish and tries to crack the headpart. Shortly after Nori gives up. This is still too difficult for him.

14:54 - Elo takes the first fish from Uno again and rips off some pieces. Suddenly Piret calls alarm and the chicks go flat.

very dangerious meal in this heavy storm
but UNO ist successful and NORI besides him has to wait ^^

14:20 "Hey folks, it's not easy to learn what you call "flying", believe me!"

UNO is VERY hungry ^^

NORI is in trouble, if there is something left for her?

yeah, so windy!
Mom is back.
Madis comes with another fish at 2:29. He is so good!

14:28h


BIG fish delivery for ELO ^^

14.16

Uno is doing his utmost to get a beginning at this fish.
Nori is cheering him on



Uno succeeded, fantastic!



He will leave some bites for the others.

14:28 another small fish deliverd by Daddy

14:31h

PIRET took the new big fish and left the nest with that meal

14.34

Now Elo is eating from the fish opened by Uno.

14:32h

ELO is eating from UNOs fish now ^^

Who is going to feed Nori? :(

14:36h

what happend in the meanwhile?

there is the big new fish back in the nest
and NORI just overtook from ELO and is eating by herself

14:38h



NORI "I better hide this fish"

14:40h

PIRET brought a big fish

what kind of fish ???

the second or the third one?

14.43

The parents really have started to leave this hard task to the chicks: opening the fish and eating it by themselves.
I suppose Piret will check, by feeding once in a while, if they are getting enough?????

Edit: YES, Piret is feeding at around 15.15

Hi Gitana, Nori is, she'll have to.
