A video of returning the chicks to the nest box. I didn't see the adults on the cam and the chicks were calm. Aria showed up 30 minutes later with a giant pigeon and just kept stuffing them.
Comfort eating perhaps. :egg9:
Just like us!!!! :egg9:

Food certainly doesn't lack in this nest! The chicks were so full they could hardly move and then more arrived! They turned their backs to Aria because they couldn't face any more. :egg14:

Here's the information on Aria and Vento's chicks from the ringing today:

BREZZA - Ring No. CF 2239
Wing 99 mm
Weight 490 gm

ARIANE - Ring No. CF 2240
Wing 91 mm
Weight 400 gm

ZEFIRO Ring No. CF 2238
Wing 90 mm
Weight 400 gm

Nothing was said about their sexes but looking at the wing sizes and weights, it seems likely that there is a female and two males.

Here's the link to photos from various members of the forum of the ringing (banding) of Aria and Vento's chicks yesterday:

http://www.birdcam.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5275

About halfway down the page, you'll find the link to a slideshow on Imageshack.

The chicks certainly look very healthy :egg5: :egg5:

I remember the photos from last year. It looked like a really fun celebration! Warbler, are those weights grams? They are really big chicks!

Watch a feeding today, then maybe 30 minutes later saw a parent preparing more prey, to feed again, but you could tell they were not really hungry, although they did make a small effort. So nice to see.

Thanks for the captures Ljames.

This image is from 5-2. The adult brought a bird and just dropped it in the box, letting the chicks feed themselves.

Alice and Virgilio's chicks were ringed this morning! Here are the details:

Emy (female)
Ring No. CJ 2103
Weight: 682 gm (1.5 lb)
Wing: 163 mm (6.42 inches)

Jo (male)
Ring No. CJ 2104
Weight: 527 gm (1.16 lb)
Wing: 158 mm (6.22 inches)

I'll try to post some photos from our forum (and I'll try to do the same for Aria and Vento's chicks) as soon as they appear.

However, they're good and healthy, as we could see before :danceegg: :flirty:
