CHICKS
- 1st chick: 77 days old, MAIDEN FLIGHT 18.06 at 07:39:38 - 76 days old
- 2nd chick: 756 days old, MAIDEN FLIGHT 18.06 at 07:38:56 - 75 days old

Egg 4: Laid 07 April - unhatched

Before their definitive departure for migration, the fledglings initially fly within an average distance of up to 200 meters, and as they get older, this distance increases to an average of up to 500 meters.
Better results are in surviving of the chicks which spend longer time in nest after fledging, means they return to the nest and step by step get independent, but are still getting food from parents in nest. For another 2-4 weeks after being able to fly they will go to the nest at night or rest at the nest.

female Zica - male Natalio

TOTAL FEEDINGS 5
The juveniles learn to search for foraging sites and acquire food only after their definitive departure from the nest (migration).

Natalio 2 feedings: → 09:44 | 13:30 |

Zica 3 feedings: → 10:18 | 14:36 | 21:10
