Good morning, close up from NE24, he/she sleeped alone in the nest. Mommy and Daddy were on the guard on branches.




Warm up with Mum.

The beak from NE24 looks much better, he is grown so fast.


Side by side with Mommy, so nice.

Introducing NE24 as Legacy!

[balistar]

all,

Owlie, thanks for the info (FB). Legacy - i like this name


6.33 still in the healing process



Samson filled the pantry:

6.42 headless fish


9.46 headless whopper

[balistar]

9.48 Gabby started to feed the whopper fish to Legacy


9.52 this big chunk Legacy had grabbed from the fish by himself, but couldn't swallow it yet
Gabby observed him (or her) struggling, she helped and took it back to feed it in smaller pieces
later Legacy swallowed a piece as big as this one, but fed by Mom


9.57 Legacy seems to be satisfied


10.02 no wonder - look at that giant crop

[balistar]

Legacy is diligently practicing first serious wingersizing

6.43.08 early in the morning


9.43.46 Mooom, i need more space


9.44.51 my wings are BIG, and look at my pin feathers growing

[balistar]

so sweet......

6.44.32 Legacy is about to incubate his/her egg-sibling again - as s/he often does


6.44.42 spreads also grasses around his/her chest to fill the gaps - as s/he learned from watching Mom


9.38.25 here i sit and guard my egg-sib

[balistar]

12.37 Gabby squeezing delighted when Samson flies in with what looks like a squirrel


12.38 yes, a squirrel - Samson defurs it - Gabby flew up to the right branch


12.42 Samson feeding Legacy

9th March



I think the beak looks fine


I wonder if it was itching as Legacy was rubbing the beak in the nest fluff very eagerly for a while


Look at me!


Maybe someone could make a video of the rubbing episode (the time just before the images before 7 o'clock)?

Feeding in the afternoon

[Sylvika]

Thank You so much for the story telling again from last days !
What a cute baby Legacy is . No, not a baby anymore, but a toddler. It is so funny that Gabrielle still wants to brood the egg and so they lie on the nest together almost all the time.

A grey morning moment for Legacy

[Owlie]

I wonder where are the parents - EDIT: there is perhaps Gabrielle on the branch just preening!


Here we have one

[Owlie]

Good afternoon!


The time has come to start studying the outer world

11th March



Parent, Legacy and unhatchling today

[Birdfriend]

Thank you Owlie, balistar for reporting and pics from that nice little family.

Wow, Legacy is so big now, I had not time during the last days.
Daddy is feeding him/her.

A close up of Legacy (sorry the adjuster line )

[Birdfriend]

I took nearly the same. Legacy's eye is nearly closed.
