More milestones
I’ve just checked on the nest again, and as my head popped up over the wall I was met by a barrage of bill clicks from the two chicks. It sounded like they were making popcorn in the nest.
The female simply watched me impassively with her eyes half-closed. The chick sandwiched between its sibling and the female then tried to perform a spread-wing threat display – but was unable to get very far because of the confined space.
Really good to see that the behavioural development of the chicks is progressing according to schedule.
