Papa Padis spent the warm night with the chicks in the nest. Donna served an early breakfast and brought additional moss. Usually, this has been Padis' job. But Padis is a talented fisherman: the chicks were unable to finish all of the approximately ten fish he brought. The biggest of the bunch he had to eat himself—swallowing the same fish for a second time!

The leg and wing stretching exercises are fun to watch—the chicks' development is amazingly fast. Watch the video.

Pictured is the large fish which no one other than Padis was capable of eating.
