In this last feeding, baby ate very well.
I saw his movements behind mom and heard his eating-noise.

Both crops are full and ready to fly to football games...

5:38 Vilnis pooped a third time.

[ame]

5:54 Milda started her fish song in the forest..... Raimis brought a fish. this time milda did not come home. she continued crying.
Raimis jumped to the branch.


this went on for a minute or two: Raimis on top branch and Milda crying in the forest.

5:48 Raimis flew away.

5:53 Robis started nibbling the fish. she didn't get much out of it... - surprisingly neither Eaglet didn't seem to be very hungry.
Milda flew to the branch.

5:55 Milda came down and began feeding Vilnis.


5:58 while Milda was feeding VIlnis Robis pulled Milda's tail feathers.

[ame]

6:00 Milda went to the top branch.

6:16 Raimis brought another fish. Milda came down from the branch.
Raimis flew out.

[ame]

6:17 Milda began to feed Vilnis. Robis watcehd behind Vilnis... then she tapped a little on Vilnis.
https://youtu.be/NwNaK2k_FFU

6:19 Vilnis moved aside anyway. then Robis was fed.


6:31 Milda fed Vilnis again. she also ate herself, too.
Robis made WE.

[ame]

6:41 feeding was over. in the end Milda swallowed the fish tail.


7:52 Milda flew out.
https://youtu.be/wt3fuGplIu4

7:57 she brought a green twig.

[ame]

8:03 Milda worked with sticks. she fortified the barrier in front of the camera. good!


8:05 they settled in a tight group together. maybe too tight: Robis tried to hit her mother's face many times.

[ame]

9:03 Milda started to cry...
Raimis brought a big fish!
he had eaten the head.


then he flew out.
now the family is puzzled... they are not hungry.

[Abigyl]

10:18 Nice fish is still there!

It is more than 1 hour old !!

Both are taking the morning rest on the fish.
We have to try it once... must be nice to sleep on a fish

[ame]

10:43 Robis was giving hard time to Milda again, trying to peck her in the face. Milda escaped to the left branch but it didn't help much. Robis continued biting her toes.
Milda jumped to the top branch. there Robis will not reach to her.


maybe Durbe was only wise in not coming back to the nest. maybe she saw in advance what kind of angel our Durbertina was becoming.

10:46 strong WE by Robis. then she purred like a cat.


10:47 Milda flew away.

10:52 both made WE.

i have other things to do...

[Abigyl]

Ame, Both are fighting and beaking mom a lot in the last days.

I was thinking about this aggression against mom, the feeder.

In the past, some people tried to connect this behavior to the ringing; but here we can see that it must be their age.
The change in them, they want to eat alone like when dad left the fish the other day and they managed (not perfect, but they had something).

Where is Liz with her books??

[Abigyl]

11:55 Intruder??

They are so alert

Mama mia !! Even silent Robis is calling like crazy

[ame]

11:55 Milda calls in forest.

then someone landed on the top on the left. eaglets are warning! a stranger?!?


was it Milda after all who called in the forest? why is she not coming to protect the eaglets?
or does she see that they are doing a pretty good job themselves?

[Abigyl]

Ame, Is this their first intruder?

I don't remember one before.

[Abigyl]

12:00 Look at them! Both standing straight like officers in the nest army

[ame]

Ame, Is this their first intruder?

I don't remember one before.

neither do i, not in the nest tree. someone flew by yesterday morning. or was it a day before that?

btw: Liz has the same books as i have.
i think that this aggression towards parents is a normal phase in the development of eaglets. it starts at about this age. Durberta was really awful. i think it has to be learning how to take care of oneself. they'll have to learn that in order to survive. they'll have to compete with other eagles to get food. that's what robbing food away from parents is and mantling food so that the siblings/other eagles can't steal it.

a funny particular that i have noticed is that Robis uses Vilnis and Milda as guinea pigs in learning how to pluck feathers off a bird.
she did that for several minutes a little earlier this 10:57 morning.
https://youtu.be/YIZ76rGXs2Y

11:58 the eaglets stared at the stranger and complained.
https://youtu.be/190vEZvFbuQ

12:04 it seems to become a stalemate situation: the intruder will not leave and the eaglets stopped complaining.

Vilnis even pooped! was that some sort of panic/stress relieve reaction? or plain indifference: "i don't mind you!"
https://youtu.be/1nMjKxl4KyM

[ame]

the intruder is still there... the kids began to preen themselves.
12:09 first Viln is. she's so cool.
https://youtu.be/0cVzHbMnoq0

12:10 both preened.
https://youtu.be/hlG6TTjzKU4

i'll have to go again for a while.

[Abigyl]

You leave me alone in such an emergency?

[Abigyl]

12:25 time for lunch!

They start the fish The baby is opening, he is hungry after the event

12:26 Someone flew from left to right???
