****************
Notes & Observations:
- I would speculate it could be to ward off predators, looking bigger while they are vulnerable eating, or it could that they that is a way of showing they are happy or excited of getting food.
It is sad really as this is the last post to actually count for the assignment in the animal behaviour Mooc, as things are just getting interesting. While I have not caught this in a picture yet, as the DVR is not working at the moment, the eldest son, 45 days old on the 20th of July, has managed to lift himself with his wings a few centimeters above the nest.
The adults are now rarely seen both at the nest because of the ever increasing demand for food.
Chicks also now move around the nest and try to manage it, imitating their parents.
