Oberhausen juvi's and the pigeon







And there she was again. The female came to the daily rescue. The pigeon lay in the back of the scrape. Untouched. The juvi's did some picking but no plucking and lost interest. And went to their daily business: wingflapping and sleeping. Until the female appeared. Help was on the way. The little babies where fed by here and they still love it. What a difference with the Italian eyases. 29 days old and still white. They pluck and tear prey apart, like the raptors they are already. Fierce and frightfull they are the enormous chicks in Rome.
But not here in Oberhausen, 3 very lovely juvi's a long way from the raptor they will eventualy turn into. T
