Oberhausen: yet again a big meal!



These three chicklets are being stuffed all day. They are so very lazy from all the food. They are looking extremely healthy and strong. Notice how the amount of black protruding along the edge of the wing indicates that the flight feathers continue to develop at a rapid rate, but it isn't until the wing is spread that the state of development can be fully appreciated. You can see how the flight- and tailfeathers are emerging from their shafts.
