Just watched our precious babe trying to feed himself. He was holding the food in one foot, and picking at it. I really hope they give him a chance, unless of course they find something that will cause them to take him to rehab. I will be heartbroken if they do. I really want to see this little one make it! Of course, Dorothy took the food from him, and started feeding him, herself. This pair choke me up.
:tissue:

just before it started to fall on its back it walked right out of cam view. that is why I knew it had good movement.

Thanks bev....

This is totally Off topic!!!

OK...this is only for comparison. If we got hatch dates correct, the COL chick and the Nebraska chick are the same age. Not the best vid because its too short and we don't have a frontal view, but I don't think the COL chick is that far behind the Nebraska chick in skills..maybe I'm just biased..




(I gotta find a better example...didn't realize I had cut out some of the walking and a really good poop shot...oops..)

you are bang on SGB. I have been watching both since people were commenting on walking skills etc. I really think a lot has to do with the brooding while so big, and the squishing in while on back.
I certainly have never thought there was any neurological order. Look at how it tried to self feed a bit ago. She knows what to do and is determined.

so I am praying so hard for this one. and for Dorothy. some want to throw her out to pasture. NOt me

One of the differences between the 2 chicks is that the Nebraska chick is attempting to stand...I don't think its made it all the way up yet, but, getting there and can stay up for a nanosecond before plopping back down on its rear...

From Kate's Blog~

Props and Tarsi



Yesterday Dorothy and E2’s chick stayed upright all day long and began to walk around.

In the video above he tips backward but does not fall, perhaps because his tail feathers (called rectrices) grew long enough to act as a prop. One day earlier he used the wall as a prop and was mostly successful. During his week of toppling over (5/19 to 5/26/2015) he needed a prop but hadn’t found one. Toppling is not normal.

Yesterday he walked and explored a bit. In the short video below he walks on his tarsi (plural of tarsus, the leg section from toes to heel). Peregrine chicks normally walk on their tarsi at first, then stand up on their toes.



Adult birds walk on their toes with their heels in the air. Their legs look to us as if their knees are bent backward but the “knees” are actually their heels and the tarsi are the lower section of their legs. We humans have tarsi, too — the many bones in our feet. We walk on our tarsi all our lives.

It is very hard to tell whether the chick’s improvement is a leap forward or merely a compensation that masks his underlying weakness.

Meanwhile, he made KDKA news last night. Click here to watch.

The chick will be examined thoroughly tomorrow, Banding Day. Watch this blog for updates.
