Man that boy is turning out to be a pig lol  Oh wow just saw one of the parents do a fly by. Hmmmm I think sis just got a piece of food

[eagle63_1999]

"Hey where'd the food go"  Didn't see sibling take off with it lmao

[Pchemist]

I wonder if there is statistics on time of day to fledge - like Tracy told us that most eggs hatch in the morning hours.  I wonder if fledging is often an afternoon affair.

Oh my - food!  He sure grabbed that fast.  Maybe he needs more energy to make his first flight.

I think we're hearing Bullet down there putting in his 2 cents worth! Saying, watch out bro', look what happened to me! Hmmm, Mom back making the troups restless!!

[eagle63_1999]

"I'll take that food thank-you very much, I don't wanna fly yet, it's too windy"

Yeah it does seem that way Deedream. Sis is complaining that brother took the food all to himself, "Bring me more will ya"

[deedream]

It does sure seem like Mom and Dad think he is ready to fledge doesn't it?oh my food, someone brought food!!!!!!!!!  Little buddy grabbed it and took it to the corner,  little miss has nothing............ oh dear...... lots of screeching,,, Dad or someone flew off just before in the distance.  Little miss is upset, shes hungry.

unreal.. holy I just came in to have a peek and my goodness, that was some balancing act, and it is so windy I really dont want them to try it in this weather!  god knows where they may end up the wind blowing them way off course.  Mom and Dad should know better than to encourage that in this wind!  ( just kidding, its just too hard on my nerves!)
