Linder:
Watching snack time and it looked like Trey moved to another spot just to get them to slow down, they are definitely food oriented aggressive.

Three:
New question for TPC: What causes the chicks to be larger than their parents, initially? I've noticed this same trait in the Osprey and Bald Eagles in my area. Is it a process of the bones calcifying and becoming more compact? Does this happen with other aves, such as seed and nectar eaters? Thanks.

Pchemist...great minds think alike..I must have been typing while you posted :)

luvwatchin:
Definitely looks like snack time, and it's amazing how big the chicks are getting, looks may be deceiving, but the chicks look about the same size as Trey

Pchemist:
definitely snack time.  chicks look huge compared to Trey!  partly because of the fluffy, I suppose.

weird watching him hop around to the various parts of the snack.  busy defeathering, which given that looked like a wing seems like a lot of work for little reward.  perhaps this is a lesson on how to prepare food?
