Another meal, only this time Princess has her back to us so there isn't much of a view of the chicks.   It must be quite breezy as the feathers from lunch are swirling around and flying out of the box.  Instant cleanup. ;D

The Peregrine Chick:

Princess will leave him with the chicks later on when she's had enough of the whole thing.  He's more patient than she is and braver in fact.  He's always the first back to the nest after a human visit ...

As for feeding the chicks the "bits", he doesn't want to have to clean those up later (neat freak that he is), besides there is a 5 minute rule when it comes to dropped dead pigeon in a peregrine nest  ;)

BirdLover:
My goodness, I can't believe how much they have grown in just two days  :o

Must be that good Winnipeg pigeon.  LOL  And, of course, good parents making sure everyone gets fed!!

Thanks for the photos Bev.  Much appreciated.
