Bonus was very passive for many hours, he only "sat" or stood on one leg - now he is training (great!) and his best friend joined (K3-X) and gradually the others - especially K2-V this time

Bonus after the first series of jumps


edit:
K2-V is really in very good condition - nice, high jumps through the nest (20.04)

[Madli]

20.05 V steps on the curved branch, trying to nibble its toes

V doesn't seem to be so comfortable on the branch as Bonus was earlier. V needs to keep balance with wings.

20.07 V steps down.

20.05 V steps on the curved branch ...

Hello
I think it's nice that Kaia is still feeding.
I have always been of the opinion that female BS stop caring for the brood earlier than the male.
Or is that still in the usual time frame?

Hi Pinki,
true. Kaia is great (without the help of the fish basket she is coming to the chicks with food)
- females usually stop coming to the nest at the time of fledging and males usually stay until the last chick flies away
