Dad's back for . . . dessert?
Really, I didn't think those chicks could eat another bite!

That chick at the back left seems more interested in preening than eating. At least she's got a big full crop!

Not a lot of interest in eating here.  They are almost polite when their crops are so full.
One is fairly eager, probably Big Sis, Little Sis not so much, and Little Bro only realizing after awhile that he could get Dad's undivided attention for feeding once the girls were done. 
Think I agree with Pchemist, Eagle and Maggieblue.

well, without the work of P&T they'd be cleaning up a lot more pigeon poo.  :)

And another bird "bites the dust!" I was wondering, do the parents just drop the "remains of the day" over the ledge, splat, right down on the sidewalk, in front of the Radisson?! I wouldn't want to be walking down Portage Ave. at that moment in time!!!

The adults take the prey remains away so that they don't attract attention to the nest-site.  Usually, they drop them over by the rivers, well out of range.  Usually all we find on roof tops are heads, a couple of wings.  Occasionally, we will find more body parts, but that seems to usually be as a result of an accidental drop rather than an intented one.  But there usually are "birdy-bits" on the streets near the Hotel, but over the last 30 years, the Hotel has gotten used to sweeping them up on a regular basis ...
