August 14
Hello everyone

NAMING: 719T - Tootsi (Big- 1st chick) / 719V - Vihm (Middle - 2nd) / 719X - Iksi (Little - 3rd)

AGE: 1st chick - 82 days old; 2nd chic - 81 days; 3rd chick - 79 days old
4th egg did not hatch

MAIDEN FLIGHTS: 1st chick/Tootsie - 04.08/72 days old; 3rd chick/Iksi - 05.08/71 days old; 2nd chick/Vihm - 08.08/76 days old

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.

FEEDINGs (continuously)
