Rome: 25 days old





Look at these 2 big healthy chicks, Growing so fast and transforming in juveniles. They are flapping and stretching their wings frequently. The primaries and secondaries are growing and teh individual feathers are very well visible. On the brest little hunges of brown shine through the down as well as on their heads. The eldest is an assertive young lady. She grabs the prey as soon as her father brings it. He has a hard job getting it back. I haven't seen her pulling that trick on Aria her mother yet. She is an assertive young falcon and isn't very sweet to her younger sister either. I have seen other eyases being very sweet to eachother but this one is not. She's is a real raptor to be, she is.
