maggieblue:
I just caught the end of this with the return to the box. The chicks look extremely stressed (panting). Scout and Orville arrived back the second the humans left and must have been pretty stressed at having their chicks gone for an hour.
carly:
Finally, back home...and not happy campers either :P Give em heck!!
Mum and dad both on ledge!
carly:
Our MNR would freak out at having all these kids stand there and pet the birds..I touched one last year and the woman literally screamed at me. And they don't stand around with them taking photos and giving interviews for so long...wow...our banding takes like 20 minutes from start to finish, bring em down, weigh them, band them, one quick photo op then back in the bag and back up to mum and dad they go.
Interesting to see the differences, not critizing or anything, just very different.
Elaine L:
I wish they would concentrate more on getting the chicks banded quickly, and less on the media and PR; for the chicks, this is a terrifying experience, and all this handling and all these people around them - well, it is taking far too long.
maggieblue:
The banding is live on the ledgecam right now. And the chicks are noisy and not happy with all the fuss. :D
O.K., I know that this process probably won't cause any problems for the chicks but I can't stand to see them so upset so I won't be watcing any more.
