Shadow is on the nest & he gets up to start a feeding. The chicks start a little bonking - very mild mostly missing one another with poor eyesight and lack of coordination but these two are pretty evenly matched. Hurry up egg #3 on pipping! Jackie flies in a half hour later and after exchanging vocals with Shadow she will come to the pantry, eat a few little tidbits and then begin a feeding for both chicks. Both chicks go into food comas afterwards.

Egg# 3 was laid three days apart and will usually hatch later than chick 1 & 2. The chicks have temporary names - there will be a naming contest by FOBBV for their official names later! Thank you for watching!
