Saturday, 26th of July at 9:18 a.m. the largest chick (Mr. Big, band no. 7015) decided to try his wings. He executed a very good start off the branch and his two younger siblings watched their brother's flight with intense interest. This first flight took place at 72 days of age.

Mr. Big was away from the nest for 25 minutes. During this time Donna arrived to feed the younger chicks.
At 13:26 hours Mr. Big took one more flight soon after Padis had brought food.
