Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
Kinderchick:
That feeding sure wasn't very long... must have been a wee snack! ;)
susha:
11:30ish - Princess: "Where is that Bird?!? these babies need to eat! I might as well go and find something myself!!"
A very short time after Mom leaves, Dad arrives: "Hi kids, just dropped in for a wee visit - Whoops...there's Mom and she seems a little ticked...okay, okay, I'm leaving! Sorry I forgot to bring food!"
11:43 and the efficient and capable Princess has fed the babies and they're tucked in and napping once again, well-fed and happy. ;D

Yes Jo, I remember TPC posting that on yesterday's observation thread, I think. I'm sure that we don't need to be too concerned about the 4th chick not getting much to eat. You're right, Princess has demonstrated herself to be a very good mom and I'm sure she is doing her best to look after all of her chicks. I think the reason they fall over while eating is because that's what they do right now, being so young. I have seen this occur with other peregrine chicks on other webcams and they seem to do just fine. :D

Princess is a very good mom and it would seem that Ivy has adapted to fatherhood quite well so I don't think they've got things well under control. :)

My sentiments exactly, ballywing! I have had this very thought almost every day, with all this rain we are getting in Winnipeg! :o
