RCF:
This one in front got most of the food, Mom tried giving to the others and this one would lunge and grab it, greedy little bugger. I watched two in the back having a tug a war over a piece. Half way through the feeding the one in front did an about face and decorated the wall with a poop shoot. ::)
Ellie:
Susha and Jo I have seen what looks as wingercising as well. Can't say that they were trying to balance themselves but who knows. Looked pretty cute for only 11/12 days old. Maybe they had a kink they needed to work out ;D
RCF:
Here's a couple of pics just after last feed
It's all gone
The Peregrine Chick:
Actually wingercizing doesn't begin until they have flight feathers ... at this age they are using their wings to balance themselves and to help them move around, next they will actually be able to get up on their feet properly and waddle about but until then, their wings help them out.
And yes, first fledges are on average about 45 days but males will go first and females last, up to a week between the genders or not. We'll know when they are going to fledge by their behaviour ... and lots of serious wingercizing :D

tpc is our expert but if you combine wing and exercise, you get wingerizing... ;D
I think it's part of our forum vocabulary but Tracy can set us straignt
