Yep...sitting on the nest box edge.

[Ellie]

Chick pile all by itself.  Mom must be out for a stretch or watching from the box edge.   Ohhhh that warm coverlet is gone again!!!!!!

[Doreen]

Sleeping beauties!

[Ellie]

Another feed and all is well.  "Duvet" on!

[Ellie]

Only one chick not sleeping........oh I have an itch here...........oh no it moved over here.......and so on.  Funny! At this rate he/she will still be awake by the time the next dinner bell rings

[Ellie]

So hard to believe the change in the chicks in 24 hrs.  They are really getting around.  Cute the way the little one keeps pecking on moms beak like I want some more.....please!

  Tpc, is what we are viewing with our little Royals, the butt scoot? 

[ballywing]

Wow that's the first time I've seen the chicks begin to separate from each other a bit and go 'walkabout' - they change and grow SOOOOO fast!!! 

[Jo]

Trying out those legs and feet after a big meal - very cute.

[Ellie]

Chow time!!  You are right TPC the little one is in the front row and is hungry.  Can hear the chatter as I type this.

[Ellie]

Little squabble now with two facing off against each other with a peck or two thrown in.  More cute antics ahead Im sure.

[Ellie]

Mommmmmm!   He pushed me....(face plant).  Just a complete schplat!  A little nudge and face forward ...it looked so funny!

[The Peregrine Chick]

Chow time!  Littlest one always in the back row and ignored by mom as the "older" ones are a little more aggressive.  I know she gets fed but it looks like she gets left out.

Little one is 7 days old now so not as far behind the others as she was.  They have been fed frequently today - last feeding was gargantuan - took 30 minutes to get the little demons topped up - so "she" isn't in that much distress.  Next meal if "she's" hungry, "she'll" move round to the front and be the aggressor.

Sure glad the storm blew on  by.  Those chicks are getting so big,  preening 'cause of the new feathers coming in (must be something like teething...drive you crazy). Even saw one wingersizing...can you believe it already.
