Does anyone know if Smiley been permitted to feed the chicks?  I haven't managed to see many feedings lately, but a couple of times when I have watched, it has looked like Smiley feeding the "babies", who are getting very big.

Bccs would know - Smiley is one of her favs  :)

Teaming rain now. No wandering out on the balcony now. The chicks are staying pretty close to Princess. The nest box looks pretty dry, although I can see some drops of rain near the front door.

One of the chicks has been walking a few steps on its feet, rather than scooting along on its rump.   :D

Those huge feet and extra long wings on fluffies are hilarious. They seem awkward, hard to believe they will grow into such speedy agile falcons.

I was happy to see the babes basking in the sun this evening.  I think the weather tomorrow will be good for them too, most of the day. :D

Great photos of the stuffed chicks, RCF! They look as though they could barely waddle!

Are they ever getting big!  Just curious when is Princess going to kick out the non-vialble egg we see here?

They may or may not do anything with the egg ...

Peope were talking about the chicks yaking up pellets.  About 5 minutes ago I caught live action bowel movement.  Talk about projectile.

AKA "Poop-shoots" :P ;D
