Good day! Thank you all for the news, pictures and comments! Timea! Too bad You didn't have time to ask Miina why she's throwing out the bark. It seems to me that the bark was needed when the Chicks were very small and the color was like bark. Now in Vogue lichen! 15:38. Someone's on a webcam. Maybe it's Miina. 15:42. Yes, it's Miina. She jumped into the nest and immediately flew away into the woods...for firewood. A minute later she came back with a stick.

Gavril, thank you. What is needed on the nest changes along with the chicks growing up. Now more sticks are needed than bark.

[Gavril]

16:09. Miina saw Marko with fish. She jumped off the webcam. Miina took the fresh fish. The chick looks with interest at the fish beating its tail.

Gavril, thank you. What is needed on the nest changes along with the chicks growing up. Now more sticks are needed than bark.
