Karl brought back big fish - one got stuck in his beak :shock:

The fish is already out - a big one

The chicks are so wild- pushing and pulling Karl, he almost loses balance and Bonus gets dangerously close to that steep right edge of the nest :?

There was a second huge fish! I think K1 ate the first fish from the floor.
Image

K1 and Bonus had a tug-o-war for the first fish. The second fish fell to the floor, K2 or K3 eats it.

Eventually, there is even more smaller and bigger fish. I see that Bonus also gets food.

They are still "fishing" on the nest floor after feeding to find the last morsels..

They see someone arrive again!

12.10 It's Kaia! She has a bit of a rough landing and climbs over the curved branch to get to the nest :)

She stands and thinks if it's even worth to step further- the chicks are very wild again :lol:

There's not much to see but I think that they get most of the fish straight from Kaia's bill. I don't see much falling on the nest floor.

The chicks are still vigorously pecking the nest floor. So something must have fallen there too...
Somebody makes a funny sound several times- sneezes or hiccups.. :P
