TWINS = SIBLING RIVALRY!

March 29, 2009

K-81 with his two bobble heads. They are both tracking their parent very well this morning. Dad settles down to brood. 6:48 am

user posted image

Parent switch and feeding @ 7:23 am. K-82 arrives with a gigantic dark fish. She waits for K-81 to leave, then begins to feed the chicks. She picked up the fish and I think because it was still fresh it flopped around in her beak and actually slapped the chicks at one point. Ouch! ohmy.gif K-82 fed both chicks. The older one nipped the smaller one quite strongly at one point, and the little one went into submissive mode. Mom went around to the left side of the nest and the little one perked up again. Then mom decided to brood the chicks.
