Also, I'd be happy to reach into the nest to get those egg shells...
or we could could bid on that task as a fund raiser!

Princess and Ivy, the Radisson Hotel's peregrine falcons, have hungry new mouths to feed.
The raptors' four eggs hatched on Monday and Tuesday.
The live-streaming "falcon cam" that broadcasts from the wooden nest box on the hotel's roof appears to show four healthy chicks, although they're so squashed together that it's difficult to count the downy babies.
"They all look good. They all have been sitting up, begging for food," said Tracy Maconachie, co-ordinator of Manitoba's Peregrine Falcon Recovery Project.
In mid-June, Maconachie and her team will put identification bands on the chicks' legs and determine their sex.
The mother, Princess, usually keeps the chicks tucked under her between meals. The father, Ivy, has been bringing home prey such as pigeons and gulls. The chicks have their first feeding at about 5 a.m. and get fed every two to three hours.
Maconachie is posting videos at www.youtube.com/theperegrinechick, so falcon fans can see what feedings are like.
Manitoba's other two pairs of breeding peregrines, one in Brandon and one in west Winnipeg, are each incubating four eggs, expected to hatch in June.
