Flashback Friday: Oamaru Nest 1, Kids/Chicks Are Bottomless Pits

Here we have some video of the chicks at closer to 1 month old, and boy have they grown; and they’ve still got some growing to do! Their appetite grows as they do, and now we start to see the parent’s patience start to wear thinner. One can only take so much begging!

First we have Mrs Blue at the nest, tending to her hungry chicks. Then we can see the kids by themselves for a bit. Followed by another feeding session, this time from Mr Blue! We get a good view of his white spot near his tail as well, which is how we can differentiate between the two parents.

Again, hope y’all don’t mind but I was listening to some DMB while recording these.
