persephone Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 he,he,he.... they are fascinating , as they 'discover' parts of their bodies ...practise their grabbing and tearing skills ...and yesterday's wing flapping was pretty good!! I tune in every so often . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 They're getting so big now. One of them looks as though it's a male .. almost as big as Mum now. Lots of wing tips developing and other feathers coming. Mum's just been in to give them some lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is fascinating .. Hadn't even bothered to think about that. We tend to assume things across species .. well, I do. Thank you. The biggest youngster was exploring this afternoon out of sight in the space towards that camera. I was glad to see all three back in the space and getting together just now.

cannibalgoldfish Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It could be the first hatched as well, it's often bigger. They never sleep! I check in at ungodly hours of the night and at least one or two heads pop up and look around over the few minutes I'm checking them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 For the last two weeks I haven't been able to load the link anymore as I have used up my monthly allotment (probably from watching the chicks) and have been 'shaped' by Westnet, it's akin the dial-up Sooo, could someone here pop up some screen-shots if possible? I am missing out on the excitement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 In the time it took me to find that and resize it, the big one has moved into the space nearer the camera for some serious grooming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannibalgoldfish Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm worried a little about the smallest one Both parents were just there feeding and the two big ones were very active and eating, the little one showed no interest and kept closing it's eyes. When the parents left the big ones were actually walking over the little one a couple of times and it just lay there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 yes..that smaller one I doubt will fledge ..it is losing ground to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current sleepy birds Thanks heaps KitKat, much appreciated, what a little fat tummy that one has I had felt when I was watching them a couple of weeks ago that the littley may not survive as it wasn't getting stuffed with food like the other two, it's always distressing for us humans to see a non-thriver through lack of food. maybe the camera-operator will take it home an feed it (fat chance of that happening though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannibalgoldfish Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think it's a remote operated camera, no access. Apparently (google tells me) last year the same pair lost two chicks from eating diseased birds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebanne Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 I saw the little one earlier getting stuck into the food so I'm not too worried at the moment. I think it's amazing they have got 3 to this stage and did expect the smallest to have died weeks ago. I'm cautiously optimistic about it's survival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Pretty sure it was the little one that climbed over into the front space earlier on and was doing the wing flapping .. the big one had been there but went back into the back. Now there's no one in the back space. They're getting to adventurous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's being paid well I'll be keeping my fingers' crossed that the littley will keep living 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
