We have had some very exciting moments this morning! Leda started it all with hopping out onto the perch area. Tres soon joined her and then he decided to get more adventurous and moved off the perch onto the nearby windowsill. From there he went around the pillar to the next windowsill. He seemed quite content and unaware of the nervousness he was causing his human watchers!! I believe our watchers will be well entertained over the next few days!!
I was watching the cam when I saw feet further out than they ‘should be’ (and a brownish breast feathers – indicative of juveniles)
wish the cam had a bit wider angle and maybe a bit lower to see who is on the exterior framing of the nest box
is it easy to tell the young apart (as in ‘birth’ order) or is size part of the assumption? (?Tre being the smallest)
one of the chicks has no idea that actual feet are not a good thing to eat (it was grabbing at everything being fed to it by the adult, it had eaten one foot and dropped the second)
