I'd love to know Beauty's reason for not feeding this baby all day.

She is still very much on guard. They snuck up on her...they stole her baby...baby came back but her eggs are still missing...

While I can't begin to think like a mother bird, it does seem to me that guarding against further intruders is taking priority in her mind.  We know they aren't coming back, but she doesn't.  

Just my thoughts.

There was no reason not to feed him before the banding-that wasn't until almost noon. She's been feeding him early AM. It was so hot today-always the fear of dehydration.

Thinking like the human that I am, she might have made a different choice this morning if she knew the rest of the day was going to be taken up with nest defense. But she's a bird-who knows why they do or don't do things at the exact same time every day. Maybe the prey birds slept in this morning for whatever reason. I have to have faith that Beauty knows how to raise a baby bird.

Maybe she thought he ate the eggs and didn't need anymore to eat! Lol! Friday the 13th certainly wasn't a good day for this baby!

And that he ate all the nestover scraps that the banders took out-there was a lot of "good" food there

Farewell, dear Angel Egg. We will never forget you and your parents, Unity and Archer, wherever he may be.  Here's our last moment with you.    

[jeanne]

Not Sleepy!

Must be because he is excited to get a name

Eyas has breakfast.

Although the cams did NOT pick it up. As soon as he saw Beauty coming with food, he jumped right out of  the box. Beauty was in with the food and he jumped right up in and started eating it. He was so darn hungry that desperation took over and I'm sure he didn't remember what just happened. Never saw this before but it was awesome.



right after this is when he went boom!

I think he ate the whole bird!

Still picking

he made up for all the meals he missed.

[Donna]

Was I really down there?

It's all coming back to me now!

[Donna]

Both have been staring at  that trap door.

Not Sleepy!
