Great catches, balistar! TY

14.October

5:54 cam time
Chicks are awake and Mom D too.


She was sleeping on the ledge.

6:21 D takes a look to the kiddos, then she left the box.

[Birdfriend]

7:03 D is back with an prey, Cilla means a parrot. She was out for second times, at first she was back with nothing.


She starts with feeding.

7:14 End of feeding, D left the box.
7:21 D is back on the ledge.
7:26 She takes a bit time for herself, body care.

[Birdfriend]

7:30 X with an starling.


Hm, he came in with it, but then he left again with the bird.

[Birdfriend]

8:29 X has brought this bigger bird to the nest. He was feeding himself, he ate the head. The chicks looked not hungry, they are still sated from their breakfast.


He took the bird to the ledge and flew away at 9:34.

[Birdfriend]

Good day!

I got this pics from now:
7:21pm cam time
D arrives with leftovers from an previous prey, chicks are pleased about it.




Leftovers are eaten, D went to the ledge...

[Birdfriend]

Ah, at 7:10 X had his part for feeding the chicks.




Meanwhile the egg looks destroyed...
It was a very fairly and nice feeding from Dad, good father.

[Birdfriend]

7:15 Ah, the "boss" makes a control.


D took the leftovers from X, both left the box, I guess, with this leftovers she came back at 7:21.


X cleaned his claws from feathers before he flew.


Edit: These both guys (chicks) REALLY love their corner, always when I watch, they are there.

[Birdfriend]

8:05 pm
Now, the darkness came. D at the ledge.


Chicks are sated very well, they are prepare theirselfs for the bed...

Hi Birdfriend,

great, you've catched a feeding by Xavier yesterday
Thanks a lot, also for all the other nice pictures & comments. I had observed three attempts of poor Xavier, trying to feed the chicks, but always they were just been good fed by Diamond and didn't want to eat some more. Though, at least once he has got his chance, even if he did not manage to lure them out of her corner again

They seem to love their corner, hidden, but at time i could discover them walking along the wall, direction to the ledge


08:28 Xavier, you are the best - a prey almost as big as you


08:29 it is a sort of a honeyeater, the same as X brought a day before at 18.18


10:35 #1 is hiking along the wall

[balistar]

10:35 X flying in and seeing the wanderer #1 at the wall


10:36 so nice, the first wingexercises, could have be seen by both now


10:39 #1 wandering again and X at the ledge standing guard
peregrin falcon in German: Wanderfalke. The wanderer

[balistar]

10:40 Daddy, i am here, look at me


10:44 now also #2 is moving to its sibling


10:45 X turns around: hey you both, you are doing fine

[balistar]

10:45 Daddyyyyyy, please watch what i am already able to do


10:45 X turns around and watches #1 wingersizing
yes, great my dear chick, go on


10:45 ....and #1 can't get enough of wingersizing

[balistar]

10:45 such nice little wing feathers are already to see


Meanwhile there was a change of standing guard - now Diamond at the ledge

11:46 oops, you both are here? that's fine my dear chicks


11:48 yes, Mum, we have grown and now we keep on moving

[balistar]

11:49 a mother-chick-talk (maybe mother-daughter, if #1 is a female)

Hey Mum, am i great, or am i great ?


watch, Mum, i am already that tall if i stretch myself


i walk back to my sibling, Mum
ok, but watch your way, always nice along the wall

The songbirds are singing already there in the early morning. It's springtime in Australia.
Surprise, surprise our little friends have changed their corner!!!
