JL:
I think it's got to do with her size.   ;D ;D  Miss Piglet is huge compare to her brothers.  No wonder Trey steers away from her.   ;D  She's running all over the place with the prey in her mouth followed by her hungry brothers.  I think she's finally sharing a bit since they won't leave her in peace to eat it all, oink, oink.    ;)

allikat:
she is certainly getting her tummy full

eagle63_1999:
A parent brought food and the female snagged onto it and won't let the boys get a bite.  She is one greedy female!

The Peregrine Chick:
Fledgling generally refers to birds that have just taken their first flights - usually in use for about the first month or until migration.  Juvenile is used a bit more flexibly - can refer to fledglings and can be used on after-hatch-year birds if they still have a juvenile appearance and aren't nesting/on territory.  Basically it means a pre-breeding age bird.

there are probably official definitions, but this is how I have found them to most often used ...

Kinderchick:
Don't really know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes anyway. Another question for TPC, or anyone else who knows... What is the difference between a "fledgling" and a "juvenile", or "juvie", as I've read that they're called? And at what point in their lives are they actually called adults and are able to mate and reproduce? ???
