GM!
the storklets are still at "home".
8:30 two of them were playing the piano.


both storklets and WTEaglets have a certain age period when they look less beautiful. the storklets have come to that age. "dirty cheeks"

[ame]

11:48 they have company there: a fly.


12:15 "... I wanna hold your hand..."


(12:48) one of the storklets was sleeping sitting up for quite a long time.

[bonehead]

I´ll bet that the kids will have big egos in future -> they are already bigger than mama!

[Liz01]

ame, they are super cute in this stage Storklet in front looks like a poodle

[Liz01]

12:52 they are ready for a meal




12:56 one is doing wing exercises

[Liz01]

nice tail feathers

[ame]

ame, they are super cute in this stage
...

yeah, wasn't that a nice thing to say? "what an ugly baby!"
WTEaglets are really ugly compared to these before they get their dark feathers.

the downy tips of the feathers float like ostrich feathers. they look really nice and make the poodle look. that's really cute. and they are clean and white! not dirty grey ...

[Liz01]

15:18 the "punks" are begging for food
they haven't learned that this mother won't feed them no matter what they do.


ame,I know what you mean! a few more days, then you have to love them, to find them beautiful

#3 is the middle one


it is possible that since this morning there has been another feeding. I haven't been on the computer for a few hours. And even later I didn't watch all the time.

they are ready again.. I hope Dr. Madis Leivits will do the Toru

[ame]

i have recorded them all morning and i have checked the videos. i didn't notice a feeding. they eat, however, their fish so fast now that it's quite possible that i have missed a feeding.

[Liz01]

ame, with sound, I would find any feeding. You would see it in the audio track. But without sound I can't find anything
So I hope they will move to a camera with sound .. and a new nest in the forest

here I see Karl II (Karula Nest) coming and going. This way a video is fast and easy done.
