I'm looking forward to looking at the your video, mw! Got to post some captures first!

This little stinker can't decide whether he/she wants to be under mom or not. He/she crawled out from under her, then crawled back under, & is now back out! :egg21:

I finally got to watch your video, mw--it was great! I thought DC was going to try to feed the kids with Beauty right there & sometimes I thought he was trying to feed her. :flirty:

Lil Dad did get away with doing that when his kids were small with Niecey, but somebody who was around when Mom was there said that he tried that with her & got pecked on the head for his efforts. :teehee:

Guess that's what DC was afraid of. It was hysterical--never a dull moment with these 2! :eggthumbup:

That is so precious, Carly! :flirty:

I just saw another feed that ended about 6:30 with Beauty feeding. :clap:

Beauty and DC both fed the babies together this morning at 5:20 am.

They posted that there were 3 feeds this AM in 3 hrs and then DC came in with a foot! He tried to get the kids to eat it and when they wouldn't, he tried to feed it to Beauty! :egg11:

Late morning meal going on. B left to retrieve, DC came in for a visit until she returned with prey. All the kids are hungry! They were getting a little squirmy! Should have known it was because they were hungry!

She is so good about feeding. Everyone is getting fed!

:clap:

Well, they are pretty much stuffed and she's chupping like crazy trying to get them up to eat more! Look at the little crops:

Fed into food coma....

Funny, she left with the remainder of prey, and now just came back with it, trying to wake the kids up to eat more! They are like "Mom, we can't eat any more!"

Kids had their afternoon snack. DC stayed on top of cam 1 while Beauty was feeding. Beauty is on a break and Dad is in with the kids.

Another feed. Only 2 were even interested...well, now that she's been feeding and echupping for 5 minutes or so, the others got up! :clap:

Video for the day. YouTube is SOOOOOO SLOWWWWWW these days.

As I was about to post this, DC showed up with more food and Beauty finally went out to retrieve it. Kids are getting fed again.. 7:26pm

DC brought food again at 8:25. Beauty is trying to feed but is having trouble interesting anybody. :egg11:

I've only been home 45 minutes now and B has fed the kids twice already. DC is doing a good job providing for his family :egg19:

He's doing an excellent job. Funny, every time one starts "complaining", B tries to snuggle, then if all else fails to calm them down - FOOD!

She does not like her babies to squawk AT ALL. She is very attentive. Amazing really, at least to me.

I love the little crops on these guys. Love seeing kids STUFFED. They ate pretty good earlier today also. I didn't see the same volume of feeding they had yesterday, early morning, but then again, I think it might have been due to weather.

I don't think they have a choice. She shoves it down their throat if they want it or not! She'll keep hitting their beaks with it until they open their mouth, then she shoves!

OMG she left and what - came back with more.. I told you she shoves!

:egg14:

ETA: I thought she had brought something small back. Didn't realize it was scraps, but still.

They are so cute!

Oh Wow - there was a poop shot for you. I guess all that going in has to come out!
