I finally got approval to be part of this forum - surprising how long it took! Just wanted to say how great it is to read all the information that is posted about the new family. My classroom and I have been watching for weeks now and it has made for great discussion and writing. Thanks to all who post info, and especially TPC - so many are so much more aware of the peregrines now and have made a faithful following.

Quick question - is there sort of a loose timing of when the chicks are fed - haven't caught a feeding yet! Do appreciate the pics though...

Wow fabulous, another classroom of kids and an enthusiastic teacher. Thank you for introducing yourself and welcome. I hope your kids catch a feeding soon. Catch is the operative word. Perhaps Kinderchick could give you some pointers about how she is able to "catch" a feeding in her classroom. My suggestion is to turn up the volume, the chicks make an enthusiastic racket when a parent turns up with food.

They are finished another feed..........glad the little one at the back who was stretching with every bit Princess offered but had to wait until the very end.  Must of thought he was going to be left out.  All tucked in now for a warm nap.  And yes I was noticing the black feathers starting to show also.  They just grow like little weeds!! ::)

Just enjoyed another feeding.  It's just awesome how healthy and strong these four chicks all are!  They eat heartily, sleep soundly and grow wildly!  It's hard to imagine that this time last week they were still eggs :o

They've grown so much since last weekend! They barely fit under Princess now! Also, dark feather ends are showing through. Next thing you know, they'll be toddlers.  :'(

Princess looks "grouchy" today.   Maybe not enough sleep or had "words" with her man!! ;D
