Feed has been over for about 5 min..15 minutes now because PB won't upload)

best pic I got of 4 heads (with bodies attached, of course)

Baby has been getting up front since yesterday. This little one finally figured what to do to get a meal...lol.

That bird was big that Aries brought in. Looked like a pigeon. I wonder if his larger size allows him to snag larger birds. The carcasses have seemed larger to me than what Spark would bring home.

I also had major problems with photobucket over the weekend. It took me 2 hrs Saturday night to upload 8 pictures. Ack! It kept sending me back to the log-in screen or the upload would not occur or my antivirus program would tell me it was a dangerous site or Internet Explorer would stop working. Very frustrating. It was working so well for me for 2 wks. Best 2 wks I can remember with Photobucket. Wonder what happened.

Feed has started...the littles are in the front..

Well, the nice orderly 2 by 2 feed quickly fell apart..(I think the "bigs" are on to their little scheme)

Little #1 is holding his own, but big (insert #) has barrelled through and edged little #2 out of the way to the back...

Little #1 is done...LOL..sort of...wait...s/he has rallied, but with back to Mom...the other 3 are craning for their share of the feed. Aries waits patiently on the ledge for his turn with the chicks when Durand is done...

(geeeez, you'd think these guys hadn't eaten all day)

Little #2 has long lost its position in the front and is currently out of view (between Durand's head and the 2 bigs, its hard to tell where it is...Little #1 is fading fast...Durand continues to feed the biggest mouth...I've lost track of Little #2, but s/he may have squeezed between the bigs in the back...actually, at this angle I really can't tell...other than Little #1 is out for the count, propped up only by its still hungry siblings.

Durand has moved...blocking 2 of the 4...but, Little #1 is still down for the count...somebody else has thrown in the towel, but I can't tell who. Big Bertha is still eating...she hasn't stopped eating...oh good...Little #2 is getting some bites.

3 heads still up...little #1 is still down..LOL

That's it...no more food...and Durand isn't leaving, so Aries will have to wait a tad longer for his turn.

This was right after the feed started and the 2 X 2 order fell apart..

That big chick on the far left...is that BIG BERTHA? OMG...is that the 1st hatch? The one we all thought was dead? That chick is huge!!

Had a good feed at 6:29...and they have just started another one...so far, only 2 takers...guess they are still stuffed from the last one...BUT, it looks like little is up and taking advantage of more food.

OK...3 up now..

All 4 up...but, Durand is now blocking..

Nadia · **Posted:** Mon May 08, 2017 8:32 pm

Aries just came to the ledge with more food. Durand vocalized and he left. Perhaps the kids have had enough. She looks ready to tuck everyone in for the night. Gosh, they have grown so much since yesterday. They are growing by the hour. :15heartbeat:

Thanks Arjen....was that this morning, I hope?...because Durand and Aries have been bopping on/off the ledge/box for the past 30 minutes or so...I thought the cupboard might be bare!!

Oops...almost missed it..looks like a feed is about to begin...Durand is blocking..

skygirlblue · **Joined:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 3:18 pm **Posts:** 64399

After the above blocked feed..

Aries got to stay a long time...

Aries and the kids...Durand stayed on the ledge the entire time...I wonder what conversations they had...He left soon after the end of this vid, and Durand went back to the kids..

Nadia · **Posted:** Tue May 09, 2017 9:46 am

Awww...he is just adorable with the kids. Love the beaking and how he cuddles them. Wonder when Durand will let him do a feed? He sure looks like he's ready. :15heartbeat:

Feeding going on. Baby in front getting bites.

Beginning of the feed. Baby is front and center.

Toward the end he is already turning around.

I watched the very end of a feed last night and he did the same thing. First one full and done.
