 :)Good Morning forum, Good morning Radisson royals. I see a large chickpile in the corner. Their morning has yet to begin, I think. A lot cooler today. I'm sure they will love that, I am still waiting for the perfect temps and no rain or wind. Will check in later.

All sacked out.  There's a little movement going on, but this fan is heading off to bed.

'Night little adventurers!  No playing too close to the ledge tomorrow!

One huge chickpile in the top right hand corner, and one very messy nestbox.

Thank you for the update....it truly is wonderful to know that these four chicks are doing so very very well!

All the chicks have black bands on their left legs - the coloured tape is on the silver aluminium band on their right legs.

Okay, I said I couldn't see colours well, now I realize there isn't a chick with a black band, so what colour is that leg band up close ?

[bcbird]

Something big and, er, juicy dropped off, didn't see by whom, and we are seeing up close Mr Black (I think) doing a fine job of self feeding.

  I was just about to post the same thing, Sami, could only see three. Watching them grow daily, we almost feel like surrogates. But what's a "mother" to do. WORRY!

Near heart attack here - switched on the cam just in time to see what looked like somebody jumping off the ledge - and could see only three chicks. The two up front wouldn't move for the longest time, and with the light shining in, it was hard to tell if there was anybirdie in front of them. Finally one did move enough and the fourth one, farther down, moved to signal its presence. Oh dear, think I'll go back to watching the two bunnies racing around out on the lawn - not nearly so traumatic!

Oh my...........left overs right in front of the camera............yummie

  Baby fluff blowing in the wind. It won't be long before they fledge. It happens all too soon.

  While watching the nestcam, the largest Radisson Royal walked up to the cam and turned around, tailfeathers to the cam. Needless to say, I braced myself for poop graffiti! Didn't happen. Whew!

Lots and lots of flapping going on right now, one gets going, the others move to get out of the way of the wings, and then another one starts. 
Thinking that next year TPC should install a drain vent for them to practice on.

They are all huddled in the corner undercover in the corner away from the camera. 
Has anyone seen a feeding lately.  I have not seen one for days.  I just seem to log on at the wrong times.  Do Princess and Trey just do a drop and run now?  Because I am sure the chicks rush them.

Sorry I meant Ivy.  I am still half asleep.  I hit post saw Trey and went noooo don't go come back I need to fix that.
