He's not turning down any bites. This truly is wonderful to see. A huge relief that he is feeling better.

6:23 pm Those wind gusts are still hitting the nest hard. Think Simba is full at the moment. So he's saving the fish for later.

Hi JudyB! Thank you for stopping in. It's been quite a while since we have seen Simba eat this well. I'm over joyed at this! Good night Judy. Hope you sleep well.
