The E's line up for the feeding and it is a long feeding. Both can barely move. Crops are FULL

Feeding done Mom goes and broods the E's. She cleans up the pieces the E's missed
Thanks Mom we LOVE YOU

7.07.50Pm Mom got her back feather up and being vocal and Dad appears

Pretty sure Dad brought the fish in Mom goes and gets. She is feeding E1 when Dad notices E2 not getting up. E1 had just bonked E2 right before the feeding started and E2 is just laying there until Dad decides to aerate around E2 as to say get up and get some food. E2 gets up and Mom feeds E2.

So I have been having a hard time today getting onto the forum so I am just going to do a summary of how things are going for now

Everything is going great at the nest. Sun still shining. Dad brought in a beautiful whole fish and the E's crops are full. There is a bit of E1 bonking E2 but mostly they are cuddled up together or with Mom. More to come later......

Dad busy moving sticks and rails and driving Mom crazy so she flies off. Dad's plan all along. LOL

Dad feeds and only E2 is fed. I think Dad favors E2.
