Oh My Gosh!!!!!!!! 

Little Alphonso is sooooo cute.  I just want to  :-* him all over..The pic. in the sock is absolutely priceless.

Hehe..they posted more pics of little Alphonse being fed, and scroll down a bit more for one of him sleeping in a sock...sooo cute!!  I'm so happy he was rescued and so impressed at how well taken care of he is...I know it's not an easy job!

The Peregrine Chick:

They don't want to leave too much food because it will attract predators..quite understandable indeed as a nest with 4 defenseless chicks would be a field day for someone.  Apparently they had left food outside somewhere for her but she didn't trust it and didn't go near it.  All I can translate so far!

More importantly, Rebecca won't eat food that isn't fresh.  Leaving more than she can go through in a day or so could put her off the offerings, even though she needs it.  And it would be a case of trusted, that isn't where her mate would leave it for her so no reason for her to think it is safe/fresh.  Its a dicey operation, hit-miss in fact ...

I hope all will be okay...
I wish the cam was online so we could see but...maybe tomorrow  :)

Thanks for the update Carly ;D
