Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[CeeBee]

Thank you to everyone for the descriptions and pictures.  It is great to know that the babies are all healthy and feisty.  I am looking forward to the video!  They look pretty tired out right now.

Video

There will be two versions ...

v1 - I'm going to see about downloading from our recorder and post on YouTube this evening

v2 - will be a better quality video from Larry's camera but it will take a day two or three - I'll see about posting this online when I get a copy.  CBC may post a copy too.

Will let you know when they are up and viewable ...

Okay, y'all know we have 2 males and 2 females by now    Decided against putting them on my hands simply because it was very warm and I didn't want the ink to run.

So the colours for those of you who want to start watching individuals rather than the group .... the tape is on their silver FWS bands which this year are on their right legs.

male 1 - left leg = W over sideways Y (W|*Y); right leg = FWS band & white tape
male 2 - left leg = 10 over X (10/X); right leg = FWS band & yellow tape
female 1 - left leg = O over sideways U (O|*U); right leg = FWS band & red tape
female 2 - left leg = X over sideways Y (X|*Y); right leg = FWS band & green tape


Just so you know, we banded male 1 first, then female 1, then female 2 then male 2.

Has anyone seen Ivy or Princess checking out their babies and the new "jewelery"?

[bcbird]

Yup, the strong silent type.  He brings home the bacon, er, pigeon, and she does all the household stuff.

Tracy has always said Ivy was calm and quiet.  He probably figured Princess had the situation in hand.  Sounds like she was fairly noticeable!

I can just picture it, he's probably thinking "That's my girl, you tell them.  What's that -  no, no, I'm good right here, I think you've pretty much covered everything."

  Thanks, but I sent TPC out to do it, too warm in the sun, you know......

[MayShowers]

The way Tracy bands is not very stressful for chicks. She jsut gets down to business and it is done and they are back. No posing or passing around of chicks.

I realize some places do it for their funding commitment and education purposes  , but hats off to Tracy.

I agree bev. the less stress for the chicks the better and the quicker the better for mom too

I think that Princess in a snit would be hard to ignore!
