Carina is back into air after her “window washing experience”!

June 22nd- 2013
Hi Mark just thought I’d give you a run down for today up until I left you guys.
Ann was there when I arrived at 10:30 and found Carina who had made it from the 220 roof to a ledge on west side of 240 (where she remained all day, not being fed at all). She screeched on and off for food/attention, and a few times ran back and forth with wings out.
Luna did some flying back and forth from 225 to 240. Got rewarded with food each time. Favoured the south west corner of 240 building for most of today. At one point when she flew across to the roof of 225 one of the parents brought her a live bird (Ann got a terrific photo clearly indicating flapping wings of the prey after the food transfer).
Before Ann left we saw Kendal take food to the nest box, have a bite, clean his talons before the chattering broke out and he was shooed away by Quest who spent quite a bit of time there during a pretty heavy downpour.
Murray and Debbie had a quite a few people from their Nature group stop by for quite some time. More probably would have joined them if the rain hadn’t come in waves with a couple of thunder claps. Rain quite heavy at times with Luna stretching out her wings “appearing” to enjoy it but maybe just experiencing a new sensation.
I thankfully wasn’t on my own for too long each time and while I was only saw Luna fly once across from 225 to 240 building, and then to the pink glass building on the south side (where she was still when I left). She’d flown over to get food from Quest.
An interesting day where I got to see Kendal bring food but Quest taking over feeding (at one point a lot of beak to beak between her and Luna) and poor little Carina seeming to want to fly but perhaps either a bit bruised or lacking confidence, or both. And definitely a battle of wills with the parents not giving in to her demands.
