Quite understandable, and I appreciate that. But 1/2 hour of the poop corner is not my ideal viewing medium. ::)

and while none of us want that - neither does TPC because this is also about actually monitoring the chicks and we can't assist with that except when they are onscreen.  It's all good, as it means I'm being slightly more productive today.  

except of course it just got zoomed out for full viewing!

Yes I watched that, it was nice to see. Have put the dead body thing out of mind and can actually watch without going yuk, or ugh.

Well maybe we had another snack as after ten minutes the back end of one has just moved into the poop art corner. Maybe more will follow?

Yes it was cute, but we need a wider webcam view. They are not in the corner. :(

Watching snack time and it looked like Trey moved to another spot just to get them to slow down, they are definitely food oriented aggressive.

New question for TPC: What causes the chicks to be larger than their parents, initially? I've noticed this same trait in the Osprey and Bald Eagles in my area. Is it a process of the bones calcifying and becoming more compact? Does this happen with other aves, such as seed and nectar eaters? Thanks.

Definitely looks like snack time, and it's amazing how big the chicks are getting, looks may be deceiving, but the chicks look about the same size as Trey

definitely snack time.  chicks look huge compared to Trey!  partly because of the fluffy, I suppose.

weird watching him hop around to the various parts of the snack.  busy defeathering, which given that looked like a wing seems like a lot of work for little reward.  perhaps this is a lesson on how to prepare food?
