Well I definitely got a few chuckles out of that. It was like the other 2 kept telling this one USE THE RAMP, it walked underneath it two or three times, tried to jump on it more than once, and then finally figured it out. Precious video, thank you.  :) :) :)

Last year when the chicks left the box, they never went back. These three have all been out of the box wandering around and now two of them have returned to box for the night. There is one outside the box, lying down by the ramp. Oh wait, it moved. Now it wants in the box.....tried to jump in but that didn't work.  Still trying.

First time I have just seen all the chicks go down the ramp!  Scootin around the rooftop and off to explore their expanding world!   :)

I don't know if any one was watching but the little male is sure full of energy.  After being fed, he was in the box dancing around in circles, bouncing off the walls, flapping his wings, and bugging his sister by biting her tail. Lots of fun to watch!  ;D

I've zoomed in a bit because the sun is making it hard to see the chicks ... if they start wandering again, I'll zoom back out ...

Yup. Still 3 chicks in the nestbox. Lots more "poop-art" on the nestbox ledge today, though. They're getting much more creative. LOL! ;)

Doesn't look like any of the chicks have left the box this morning, but I haven't been watching all morning either.

Tracey, is it possible for you to post a link to the name the chicks contest?  I looked at the CBC website, the camera comments still need to be cleaned up, and haven't been able to find where the name(s) suggestions are hiding.  

I don't think it has been posted on the CBC cam page yet.  

RCF is correct, contest isn't up and running yet.  We don't give CBC the names until after the banding because we need to know the gender of the birds so we have enough choices.  I will post here as soon as the contest is up and running ...
Oh, ok, thanks!  Will keep an eye out!

The female gets her dinner after not getting any earlier. The boys stayed in the box.
