I think the male chick got the last 3 snacks and the female isn't going after any of it.  I don't hear the crane anymore...wonder what's going on.  Have to go do my errands - I know I'll miss all the action as soon as I leave.  Good thing I have all you guys to post the play by play while I'm gone.  

[Pchemist]

I saw that one eating earlier, though - maybe it's just full and tired.  I'm going to assume that until proven otherwise.  

So...  I got to my meeting and said "do you really need me here?  Because some stuff came up over the weekend that I'd really like to get back to."

and back I am.    I'm probably going to heck, but I didn't lie!

akkk, put those wings down!!!!!!!!!!!!!  My goodness.  Stretching of wings just filled the box.  I thought the wind was going to take him.   He is looking at his sibling as much to say, what is wrong with you.  Back to finishing his meal. 

[deedream]

I am starting to worry that one of the chicks is sick.  Cause its just laid there the whole time. and now its not interested in food or anything, got up and is laying in the other corner now, and the nosy one is eating the feast!

[deedream]

back with food again, oh lets eat this time.  oh, one has got it all to himself.  Why isn't the other one interested?  Odd. 

[LouLouBelle]

mom or dad just popped by with food but took off, maybe to feed Miss Runaway...

[deedream]

my back with food again, then left with it, flew down below, squawking and going on, now flew back by , oh did you guys see that small bird fly by, lol, good thing the adult already had a mouth full. 

[deedream]

Wonder where they went with the food?  Down to the other chick?  Hmm.  Maybe to eat it themselves?  These ones didn't act very hungry.  Everyone too stressed out?  Thats when I eat! lol

[Pchemist]

That was seriously cool seeing mom (or dad) landing briefly then swooping away!

[ballywing]

Yikes, parent comes back with ANOTHER snack! - then takes off with it again!

[deedream]

its quiet again now. One chick laying down, one sitting in the far corner.  Train just went by.  Can't here any strange sounds. 

[Pchemist]

wow, all that activity I thought SURE something was about to happen.  but noooooooo.

[ballywing]

Oh wow, now EVERYONE is screaming - something going to happen any minute now???

[deedream]

gosh I see the food it dissapeared, never seen anyone eat, Ithink just one must have ate in in one or two bites.  yes sounds like adult squawking, and another one from somewhere else squawking back!!!!!!!!!

[ballywing]

Hm, who else is screeching out there? - it almost sounds like chick or the other parent is on TOP of the box?? - what a racket!!!!
