Nori so beautiful

Nori looks great indeed. Just check that crop, it's filled to the rim.





And here Nori's crop seems to be in the way for his flapping exercises.

PIRET brings branches ^^

moving the furniture under protest

I think Uno is preparing himself for The Big Event.

Never seen him this long on the very edge of the nest, flapping like a maniac, staring at something in the distance as if he tries to determine where to fly when he finally dares, then flapping some more, and more staring again.
He just had another lift off over the nest, and a brief second I thought he was going for it; his first ever flight, but he landed a bit further away on the rim. He seems a bit restless... Will it be today, tomorrow, or this weekend?

Meanwhile Piret seems to be busy with setting up new fences.

Nice to see Piret takes branches with her in flight.
She just left and flew to the trees in the back, went to the left side, took a branch and returned.
Amazing they do that while flying.

It didn't work, tho! and Nori got blamed.
