That Ivy is very likeable isn't he? Good genes!
Oops, realized I'm in the Edmonton, not Winnipeg thread.
Damon, here, is obviously possessed of the same devoted father traits.

I think the reason Radisson lets Damon do so much is he taught her to begin with. He was the seasoned veteran.Princess is teaching Ivy and he is learning.
--- End quote ---
Some pairs are more equal partners than others. T-Rex used to kick females out of the nest and would do more than half of the incubating and brooding. Madame did most of the nest duties with her first mate Pop, then was happy to let T-Rex do his fair share, did most of it again with Simba, then shared pretty evenly with Trey. Princess and Trey were even partners right from the start. Ivy is pretty in there for a new dad - never seen this many meals, certainly have never considered peregrine chicks to be grazers!!! Shift changes have been pretty regular between Princess and Ivy as well - she may have more, but he appears to be never far away and always ready for duty. So, every bird is different which means every pair is different ... some might come with age, some it just starts the way it continues. Suspect Ivy will always be a close-to-home-Dad, he was the same way in West Winnipeg from 2007-2009.
