The one chick who seems to be the most vocal has been doing some wingersizing. ;D

Looks like the two smallest males are the ledge-sitters...or is that just an optical illusion? ???
SuzieQmb:
I don't know how to post video clips, or I would - somebody just about fell off the ledge!!!! If you know how, and can look at the video from about 8:06 - 8:08, you'll see it! One of the birds jumped up on to the front ledge, and had a tough time gaining his/her balance (I've been away, and they've changed, so I need to spend some time figuring out who's who!!). Anyhow, the one that jumped then started to flap his/her wings madly to get balanced. I thought they were going to go over.....my poor heart!!!

I agree - and if it sounded like I was anthropomorphizing, I didn't mean it to sound that way. Whatever is their hardwiring, there are behavioural milestores that even we poor humans are recognizeable as they develop. For humans, babies under a certain age have no fall-from-height reflex (no idea what its called) hence the baby gates on stairways. At a certain point in their development, the reflex kicks in and their whole mode of movement changes. It's a hardwired mental change but is it also an emotional change.
Outside my sphere of expertise, but it's what makes observing such a great way to spend some time.
