I am really new at this...would Princess or Pip find them if the baby is crying. Would they do anything?
Princess and Pip don't have any problem finding their kids when they call. This is sort of standard. It may not have been a graceful fledge but when they go, they go and then it is mostly up to Mom, Dad and the chick in question. We really can't do much more than try to rescue them if they get into trouble but even then, sometimes there is nothing we can do, sometimes they don't really need our help - one of the Logan chicks provided that this year!!
When the chicks fledge, Princess and Pip will keep track of them, will feed them, will taunt them into following them and defend them if the chick is in trouble AND they can do it without injuring themselves. Only takes the chicks a few days to get the basics of flying worked out and after about two weeks we generally don't have to worry about them as much. Another month, six weeks after that the chicks will start taking trips out of town or across the country on their own. So not much more time to watch them on-camera ...
