As you can see the eyases are growing very rapidly. In their 5th week the changes are daily so big. The oldest ones are getting brown.
I have not posted this yet overhere:
The firstborn is male, he is already on his adult weight of 855. He is not the biggest one, that is his sister, the second born. She was 925 on Friday , will be growing some more. S2 is very big, so I'm sure she will have the posture of her mother.
The third born is male again, he was the most quiet one.
The fourth however is the one with the real attutude! She is some fixen! But a dear one, of course. She did not like it all one little bit. She struggled and protested and did not agree with anything. The man who banded them, carried them from the box on the roof to the room in linnen bags. She had to be put back in the bag. So she spread her toes, all 8 of them, and her wings, She went like: just try to put me back, you won't manage. I won't let you.
So this smallest chicklet needed 2 men to get her back in the bag. She pushed her nails in their hands, and then in the bag so she could not be moved back or forth. It was hilarious.
When we finally had her in the bag and closed it so she would be quiet, the moment we opened it to look at her, she started to yell at us. Eardrums popping! She is some kind of lady! With a big attitude just like her mum. But sweet.
She has a lot of growing to do She was only 655 grams and was small for her age. Nothing to worry about though..
They are growing nicely now. In about 10 days the firtst one and that will be the male no doubt will have his first fledge. How time flies.
I will visit the tower often in the upcoming weeks to watch them fledge and play and learn. It will be awesome to watch and hear them, all 4 of them in the sky above.
They touched my soul, they really did.
