I just looked up how it was last year with Perle. Pretty much the same procedure, and as Liz writes (June 23rd, 2021, 11:51 am): it is always like that.

The parents deliver enough food, but the chick has to learn to cut it open all by her-/himself. Rota will certainly not starve. And if this is a little too early- they will repeat the lesson.- At the moment, she is frustrated, but we'll see if hunger will drive her to a 'new horizon'.

pascale :hi:
Is it the nictitating membrane that we see? (third eyelid)
Anna seems to want to protect her eye. Yes, something is definitely not quite right. Hopefully nothing serious. It doesn't seem to limit them very much. :puzzled:
