Liz:
They weigh more than the parents?? How is that possible? Chicks are fat and adults slim down? (Another species worried about weight!)
carly:
They weigh more than the parents do right now so no chance of mom or dad grabbing them if they fall :o And I think dad is scared of them!

Don't know about that. Seems doubtful tho, since they don't have hands. And I don't mean that in a snarky way! All they could use is talons and that might do damage. But TPC will tell us! Good Q.
Can you hear the parent now? She sure is screaming like she's starving to death! My air conditioning is running and the tv is turned up over it, so I can't hear those little things.
JL:
It's so cool to hear them talk to their parents. They screech when they bring food and when they see them; then you hear the parent screech bach from further away.
