I was watching it too, burdi. It was a long feeding session. Their little crops were so full that you could see the flesh between the fluff. I'm surprised they could still keep their heads up.  :P

I see a feeding going on right now.
Hope Princess might take a much needed break!

RCF, thank you for the video!


TPC, this was funny!

"Princess:  Excuse me but what are you doing?

Smiley:  I can't remember where we put the kids!"


I guess the evil eye she gave him finally sent him away. Hahahaha....

Dupre, yes, I think his cue to leave was when she fully opened her eyes near the end!  Poor Smiley...  hope he will soon get a chance.

Princess is not used to this, having the Dad coming in the nest box and just staying.  Usually the others took off as soon as she squawked.  He is quite persistant.  I like seeing the two of them in there at the same time.

Thanks for the pics and video.  I will have to watch the video when I get home.

TPC & RCF,

I watched this happen live. It was so funny, when he showed up she's yelling at him that he's not needed and he's not leaving, then she settled and still he waited. Then I wasn't sure if he was poking behind her trying to get her off the chicks and eggs so he could take over or if he just wanted to make sure they were still there (status quo). I guess the evil eye she gave him finally sent him away. Hahahaha....

Smiley definitely seems like he's got the instinct to be curious about the chicks and to stand in the nest with them . . . now Princess just needs to give him the chance to try!

Looks like a Mexican standoff....poor Smiley.  Princess is chupping at him but he's still hanging out.  ;D

Smiley has come by for a visit.  :D

Princess is not budging off the chick/eggs. :o

ETA: Both parents are sitting quietly together in the nest.

Smiley managed about 3 minutes on the chicks and eggs, Princess came back and he left right smartly. Poor guy. :(

Hard to say if he's a poor guy or a very smart bird. Who wants to stand up to the mama bear! ;)
