Karl takes the "dadrella" position


But then he decided it's time to feed the "babies"

19.55 FEEDING (7) Lots of bigger sized fish. At first #1 and #2 start eating, #3's neck is stuck behind the older one's wing and hye can't reach for food. When he releases his neck, he eats several fish. All are extremely stuffed now

03.43 Karl sneezes and it scares the chick. It starts growling


05.19


05.33 Karl works with the nest, rearranges twigs. One of the chicks observes the whole time.

[Madli]

Karl makes a good effort in covering the kids. He can't stay in this position for long.

[Madli]

06.11 The chicks are hungry and waiting for breakfast. They are biting eachother and Karl's bill.

[Madli]

06.16 KAIA comes home. Karl leaves immediately.
Karl's nest duty was 10 h 26 min.


06.17 FEEDING (1) Frogs from Kaia. #1 and #2 definitely eat. #3 gets a large frog but drops it. Maybe he eats something small, but I don't see.

[Madli]

07.12 #3 is self-preening


08.11 #3 is twittering. He lifts his head up, Kaia grabs the head with her bill




I hope it was just to teach some manners...
