Well one good thing, the thing on the face is suppose to be there :teehee:

.
I just went and looked back at last yr. and this is a pic of both having it. I guess it just shows up better now.
Well anyway no worries on that, now it is who is that male with NO BANDS

OK..I've recorded the section (I think its the part you're talking about)....

Very strange...after its finished processing, I'll blow up some of the pics to see if I can read bands.

Its uploading now. It was strange, because it looked like a typical bonding session until the end.

I still need to look at bands.

Good grief, its stuck on 95%...sure hope I don't have to start over..

YW!!

I've got tons of chores to do today...at least we can look through the archives if we have the patience..

At least we didn't have a fight IN the box!!!

I am having NO luck with the band numbers of the bird on the left (that is driven out)I can't even be definite of the colors....Strong possibility that the bird on the right is Sawatzke...Its definitely b/g and if I squint, it kinda looks like an H on top..

so, does that now mean we have 3 males here?

It sure looks like Sawatzke with that heart shaped mark on his cheek.

Carolyn · **Posted:** Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:43 am

There is someone there now. I can hear them, just can't see them.

How strange! Kinda makes me wonder if they each thought the other one was a member of the opposite sex & after they had bonded a bit, one realized his mistake. I doubt, but then what do I know, that 2 members of the same sex would carry on that long with a ritual that seemed to be bonding. My other thought is, could the stranger be Sawatzke's son? :girlcrazy:

Thanks for the alert, Carly & thanks for the video, SGB!

I wish they would zoom out a little so we could see the perch area..

I know..strange, right? But like Carly said, didn't Lil' Dad act like that with the stranger male at HBG?

The only thing I could really make out with the falcon on the left was that his right band appeared black. I think both ME and Sawatke's right band is purple...not 100% positive about that.

Unfortunately, I have way too much stuff to do today to sit in front of cams. At least we have the archives here..

catwoman · **Posted:** Sat Mar 29, 2014 10:03 am

The residents were just there bonding. :loveshow:

That was pretty funny. The little male was being pretty cautious about the best way to exit the box. :egg11:

I think what happened between Lil Dad & the other male was just a bow, kinda like Polly did with her parents in Montreal--a greeting perhaps. This went on like a regular bonding session. Well, maybe we're learning something new again. :egg19:

just in my opinion, those were birds of opposite sexes. And I have seen Radisson do that to Chase . Just saying.
