Flight Training and Feedings
June 23, 2010 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Frank Butson Reports:
Diana has been doing the early shift of the fledge watch all season,which is very greatfully appreciated! Today Diana reports to me:
As I left today Mom appeared between the 3 youngsters and proceeded to prepare food and then very carefully and deliberately fed each of them in turn by beak. Then she left and returned almost immediately with a pigeon in talons which she left in the centre of the roof and then left again so I got the impression that today’s lesson is “Preparing your own food”. Jack watched the comings and goings and approved, then he left.
On arrival I had all 3 young on the roof of the nest building near the ADP sign. Many great flights were seen by all young. All 3 have been able to get into the various ledges with some pinpoint landings on the top of small perches. Talon touching,bumping each other and chasing Mom and Dad were all observed today. Jack was present quite abit in the time I was there,taking an active role in teaching the boys to fly,which is great to witness.
