Yep Wheelo will be around for another while.You should know Wheelo Mother know's best when feedinglollollol
This what Theresa has thought (brainwashed) you, eh??? lol
they are so cute when they just flop down because there is no food or parents around.
lollollol Wheelo,Brainwashed is right lollollol Yes Chicks really are coming on so well,i check in on them several times a day.Would not miss it 👍
When they are flopped just like now, they look so weak, but when the parent is there and they want food,they are well able to hop around to get in the right position.
just found a site with lots of info as to what we should expect>>American Bald Eagle - Nesting & Young though do be prepared for some not so nice info, like
"- Sometimes two chicks will survive, but it is not uncommon for the older eaglet to kill the smaller one, especially if the older is a female, as females are consistently larger than males. Should one chick decide to kill its sibling, neither parent will make the slightest effort to stop the fratricide."
"Approximately 40% of young eagles do not survive their first flight."
the info is amazing as to the power of nature, #Time for my bed too, :goodnight: Ally and Gman

One of the parents just brought back a fish, the other parent fecked off (must have been the male, off for a pint or something) next thing the three chicks are pushing the parent out of the way, eating the fish on their own, first time I saw that, great to see.
Very captivating stuff👍

Take a look at this from last september, a Racoon tries to enter the nest but gets met with the mother, their is lots of footage from the nest on youtube, the laying of the eggs, the hatching, etc.
