Well, after Brat tossed a chick and killed another (I believe at this point accidently while tossing the first chick), all is well in their family.

I fed her kids early on each morning to keep them strong and beggin. And 2 days before fledging I pulled the nest out, put the kids in a nest on the shelf to keep them begging in the parents face and ensure the feedings continued.

Brat & Ricco are weaning them attentively with no help from me for over a week . Kids are healthy, strong, good flyers and started to eat and drink already. By the end of next week, I think they will be ready to go in juvie double flight.

Heres mom and dad with all four kids yesterday.

They are definitely looking very healthy.

What made me chuckle, is Brat, giving you the old stink eye
