"Mom, Stop" Leave my new hairdo alone and get some in my mouth!

I think I saw at least 1 piece get in.. But I tuned in 5 minutes into feeding.

Good grief, baby is exhausted. It would have gotten more if it had fallen over on the prey. Well she's getting there.

I dont think the little one got much but it certainly is an improvement over earlier..

My, that chick really is strong and lively...it must be the good genes it has inherited!!

Phew, that was kind of tough watching.
But Durand will get it together, she is just totally overwhelmed with this whole new experience, poor thing.
She looked into the cam with a bewildered expression I thought. :teehee:

I don't think it got a lot, but I think it did get a few bites...

I'm not even sure if Durand has really eaten today!!!

This is the middle part of the feed..I think...At least Durand is making mouth contact. (Progress) maybe if she had fresher meat, the pieces would be easier for her to grab..I think this is the prey first brought in this morning..

I'm not sure about this "face cleaning" or whatever Durand was doing...kinda reminded me of DC feeding orion last year...jabbing him in the eye and face with the gigantic bites/prey....

Excellent video! She did much better this time and I do think baby got a few bites. Seems to all be moving in a positive direction!

Every time I tuned in today, nothing was happening. Just watched MA's video of the feeding. I do think she'll get the idea, but certainly needs practice.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THINGS SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN SOME BETTER ANYHOW. THAT IS THE STRONGEST CHICK I'VE EVER SEEN! WOW! CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY DURAND WAS PECKING AT IT'S FACE SO MUCH, KINDA LIKE A MOTHER WIPING A CHILD'S MOUTH? CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THE SWEET VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THIS COUPLE'S FIRST HAPPENINGS! I DO THINK THINGS WILL GET BETTER AND BETTER :-)

yes, I'm pretty sure she tried unsuccessfully to remove the food fallen on the face of the baby (she would have wanted keep him clean ^^)

Thanks for all the great videos today! It's been a real experience watching the feedings: Baby certainly knows what to do, and it looks as though Durand is quickly figuring out what to do also. (I had to laugh at the first attempt at feeding when Durand plopped prey down in front of the baby, expecting it to feed itself.)

I'm just so overjoyed that Durand finally has a chick of her own. I'm sure she'll be a wonderful mother, just as I'm sure that Spark will be a wonderful father!

This is one tough and active baby. The feeding was a little rough around the edges. Must be a girl.
:laugh2

Again :congrats :congrats :congrats Columbus. So deserved. :woohoo:

Thank you everyone for all the comments, screencaps & video. I only got a chance to watch the cam for a few mints a couple of times today. It's so great to be able to come here and see everything that happened.


Thank you
