This was interesting - all the eyasses were wandering around the nest, checking for nestovers (?) or just exercising and grooming... this one found a big nestover. It took him about 3 or 4 tries, but he finally was able to get the whole thing swallowed Smile

A very wet haggard arrives at 10:49 CT with an unidentifiable tidbit of food (pre-prepared). Midmorning snack?

The eyass on the right doesn't eat any, the one in the middle grabs a few bites, but most of it goes to the one on the left by the window. Haggard is off by 10:59!

Around 12:20 pm CT a very soggy haggard arrived with what appeared to be very soggy greenery!! After awhile, and a good shake, she left. The eyasses are staying huddled in their triangle pattern Smile

Formel dropped off some fresh greenery! Apparently the eyasses were playing with some of the greenery earlier - eyass enrichment Smile
