Estonian WTE Webcam 2016

[Mutikluti]

Good evening!

My VLC Player is working today again Stop&Go... I took from Pontu long video and cutted out this fighting episode. I was so happy if I saw how good and brave girl is our Taibu!

[Sosna]

Taibu grabs the tree ants. This is the first attempt to get the food yourself

[star-o]

Nothing to do, time to take a nap.

[Biker]

it is good that they learn, how to fight. It is essential for survival for them!

Exactly! Taibu had only two possibilities: to chase him away or to fly. (he didn't let off)

[Mutikluti]

Here are two videos where we can see how Taibu did flying exercises...a little bit more courage and she will fly!

[Catha]

Ohhh Taibu i hold my thumbs so hard that you get at least a little food soon little sweet girl

21:30 Poor tired girl Adult style on parents branch.

What a day

A beautiful morning with exercises and jumps, really quiet and nice hours alone on her branch!!

Around 11 The nest tree became a noisy summer camp Her dear siblings, arrived without invitation, took control of the basement and later came up to the nest branches.
Later there was a little fight between Rahu-Taiba; looks like they forgot each other during this week of separation

Tonight she's not at the same corner, but still on the nest tree

Taibu got food today...Look this video!

[aita]

...... If a bird is too weak to fly due to lack of food, it will die.

Taibu does not starve. A lot came out, consequently, also went inside.
18:18

Edit She poop twice at least today

[aita]

If Taibu just had an idea of how many persons - around the world - have feelings and emotions for her.. Our little princess..
Does anyone know the expected life for a WTE? 10,15,20 years? (Without misshapping of course)

In the USA, a year ago, the oldest eagle died in a car accident. He was 38 !!
The article is interesting: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-new ... 70/?no-ist

The oldest WTE has found in Finland was 32 years old.
Sorry this in Finnish http://www.luontoportti.com/suomi/fi/linnut/merikotka

ame wrote somewhere that Finland had an older White-tailed Eagle. 35-36 years old.

A few years ago. Renno wrote that the oldest Estonian White-tailed Eagle 'Vanaeit'- 'Old Woman' was breeding. 28 years old then.

04.06.2015 LK article. The world's oldest common gull Marta 34 years old. This year (2015) Marta and Oskar had three eggs in the nest. The male is 8 years younger than Marta, and the pair have been breeding together for 21 years. http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/23792

Without ringing, it would not be possible to know.

22:14 Parent landed on the branch with a fish, Taibu was screaming, but parent flew on the right with this fish, some seconds later one eaglet followed
22:16 Parent flew back from the right to the left

[Mutikluti]

22.13
Anna teased again Taibu, she visited Taibu with a fish and then flew away with this fish...

[Mutikluti]

22.37
Taibu saw again how one of the parents flew toward the bushes...

[EveningSun]

So Taibu hasn't been fed for 3 days already? That's not good. What if she won't be able to fly in a next few days? Anna will continue to tease her? Fly or die from starvation

[Hellem]

22:36 Parent flew from the left to the right again, Taibu was screaming

[Janne]

What with all those sentiments? Aren't you sorry for all those fish that get killed and eaten?

[Mutikluti]

23.05
The last picture...

[Catha]

Thats so sad to se her looking and hoping for some food, and now the light goes out :(

[Abigyl]

Starving?? Starvation ??

I saw some people using this word, even after it was explained many times that the eaglets can fly and stay alive without food because they had much food during all season.

Look up on this page, there is a picture of Taiba pooping. She did it enough during the last days and that is a proof that she was eating well.
If she was hungry - She would scream day and night and wasn't so quiet.

There's enough food for all of them!!

Why parent do this? Why "teasing"? Why doesn't feed or atleast give fish to Taibu? :o I'm worried about Taibu <3
