She jumped onto the platform, and sorta flopped back in.

I like this box set-up!  Gives the kids an early peek at something other than the box.

It's better in some ways than the "playpen" at the Kodak tower.  There's no four-foot drop to get there, and it's easy to get back to the nest box if needed (for instance, to get out of the rain).  There's also a ramp going down into the alcove below so the eyases can get up and down.

The downside is that there's basically nothing on the south side except a long drop to the ground.  Hopefully when they go off that side it'll be under good wing power.

That's what scares me...the looooong drop off. What's in front of the nest and down....sidewalk..traffic? YIKES. Need some mattresses down there, in case. Trampoline?

makes me nervous too but I keep remembering the Sheraton Toronto.  They are on the 43rd floor so when they are on the ledge, that is how far up they are.
