12:23 the one is ticked and takes it out on a stick Laugh Poor 1 is still trying to get rid of pellet, that looks pretty rough

12:26 I have no idea what she's waiting for, they're all pretty much climbing on the prey to eat. She is however watching #1 struggle, she's likely waiting till it comes out if it ever does poor thing

12:29 he layed down but I didn't see it come out yet

12:31 back up trying again and BR watches him

12:33 he's gone up to the top of the nest, BR is cranking every which way to watch him. Here he comes back toward her

12:37 he seems settled down, can't really see but maybe he got it out or he's taking a break. BR preens

12:40 well he's still settled so here's hoping, I have to eat and do meds so can't wait for them to ever start eating which I'm sure they will! I'm out for a bit Out

thanks Nanc! hug that was feeding 3 and ewwwwwwwwwww huh?

1:26 still the two of them and they're peeping their beaks off and both grabbing. Neither one had a crop so hopefully they both gt one. 1 is staying up near 12 resting

1:32 all 3 are there now but nicely taking turns. I love those sweet faces full of anticipation waiting for their chance. They're polishing off the chipmunk in short order. I think she's ripping the tail now (a future pellet)

1:36 I can't believe that one bite the one on the left did! holy moly. Meal is over and BR did a bit of digging where it was as chicks all turn away

1:37 poo shot from 1 might have just slightly hit BR's right side, I knew she was in the line of fire! and she leaves

baby heads over to the other two and hugs them both

wow I'm still shocked

2:43 holy cow too much action! the one chick went into a flapping frenzy till the beak plant and baby is trying to self-feed. It's sooo cute cause he pulls on it then his little beak is chewing away as if he got something and is swallowing Wub

Click on image to download

2:48 he's got a captive audience now so he can feed them instead of looking around. The one in front of him sure looks cute

here's a really special lay down that #2 did! spread-halk Laugh with 1 standing over him wings spread

ohhhhhhhh Pris!!! you're the bestest!! thank you hug

cont from earlier...

3:34 he's still standing there and I caught him preening a chick again!

Click on image to download

3:37 BR came in and screamed EZ out the door!

3:50 she's standing back to 6 no idea about feeding

3:52 here we go she had to haul it out from under chicks but fight with stick first and do some digging

4:00 nope and they've not ate and chicks are grabbing at the pigeon they're hungry. I'm confused cause there's lots to eat unless she's encouraging them to try self-feeding

4:07 she's still digging the bed out

4:18 nope still standing there

4:36 still! but maybe they ate I have to check feed

5:02 finally and all 3 are starving! Clapping to the best of my knowledge this is feeding 4

5:16 they're gutting that pigeon big time! one has walked away but the wee guy is right front and center with somebody else

5:14 feed continues

5:20 such cuties
