Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess

[bccs]

Morning all, way to go Carly, ya saved me some posting.
Was down here @ 4:45 today. The kids were yelling like mad, heard them from a couple of blocks away.
Des showed up and we both saw Hot Shot and the Little Charmer take flight. Both flew with more confidence than before. One went to the Sterling Building, the second back to the Paris Bldg. They each had a bit of a circle around before landing, so all is well.
Our girl is still in the ledge, saw her head but she was not on the edge.
Mum and Dad are on the Radisson sign, watching over the kids.

6:11 Winnipeg time.  I missed the lift offs AGAIN.  Poor Sis is sitting on the ledge wishing that she could follow her brothers.  Any idea where they went?  I hope they're safe and together.  Must run.  Have a good day everyone.  Will try to check in this afternoon.

I too saw #2 bro depart leaving behind sis who must feel like the only one that can't play soccer cause she's in a wheel chair or something .... but she knows when she's ready

Her ladyship is just sitting quietly on the vent.

6:23 am and male #2 just flew off in the same direction as #1...female is flapping her heart out on the cone!  Lol...must go now, really must go.  I hope someone is out there in case our girl decides to follow the boys

6:20 am and we have lift off!!  Just about to jump in the shower but one of the males I believe just took off straight from the corner again.  Other male was also flapping away but he's settled now and big sis is also on the ledge next to him!

Have to get ready for work, will check in later!

5:54 am EST time...and 3 on the ledge this morning.  Just checking before I get ready for work, it's dark there...but light enough to see the boys on the ledge and little Sis on her usual perch!

Why is the rubbermaid always referred to as tupperware? I am sure either company wouldn't be impressed being confused with the other..lol

Hm, good point - well we can't name a chick RUBBER - so there. 

LOL ballywing. Oh dear heavens, don't let me go there without Loriann

a cop car pulled up and  bccs quickly waved them off with a smile.

I swear I specifically stated that Barb would incure the wrath of the law at some point during fledge, did I not ?  Take that, Nostradamus  

Did ya notice that I was able to have them on their way with only reassuring words and a smile!!!!
Part of my unparalled charm, my charming !!!!!!

First flight is not pretty
in fact it's kind of sh*tty
with a bounce and a thud
first flight is a dud.

second flight is a charm
on currents so warm
we soar and we fly
as we master the sky

third flight is a breeze,
conquer this flying with ease.
and  gain our flight wings,
a 'birds eye' view of all things

fourth flight and we're gone,
dancing off into the dawn
and so the end of my ditty,
and thats not too sh*tty.

HI CENSOR !!!!
tongue firmly in cheek,
your approval I seek,
to use dirty words,
in my ditty of birds
 

resurrected from the poetry thread in honor of our first SUCCESSFUL  FLIGHTS this weekend !


 

 

ya truly crack me up toots,    luv ya

No, no , no Es. We were all very well behaved today ( even TPC )
But, Yall missed a cat fight at the corner of Smith and Portage - about 11 ish. Never, ever witnessed anything like that before!!!!
A while later, when there was a bunch of us looking up at the nest ledge, a police car pulled up to the curb. The window of our finest rolled down , and he said - Excuse me, but is someone about to jump? A natural question, as we were all downtown, and looking up. We reassured him that we were birdie people, and along he skittered, to find really bad people - not just us silly, harmless silly fools

Yes Des I believe it is the male on the ledge.

I know we can't see much but I can see someone's tail hanging off the ledge. Do you suppose that he (probably not she, right?) is going to sleep there all night?
Goodnight, all.
