AEF NEFL Eagles ~ Young Jedi V3 Attempts To Mate With Gabby! 😃 11.19.23

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Gabby flies into the nest & V3 joins her and they do a little aerating of the nesting material. V3 is the most busy and when he looks up he reaches over & give his sweetheart a beak kiss ♥ V3 is a sweet and innocent gentleman! Gabby starts to turn away and V3 has that loving feeling and he attempts to mate with Gabby. This time he progressed further than he has in prior attempts - he almost was able to mount her but Gabby rebuffed his efforts. V3 was a bit deflated and flew up to sunset branch to regroup.
Most bald eagles do not mate on the nest - they mate on branches which provide more stability for the female to hang on & for the male to successfully complete the copulation. I think that is why Gabby keeps rebuffing his efforts as she is not used to mating on the nest. I do think Gabby is open to mating with V3 ♥ V3 will figure it out - all eagle couples all have their own love language - Gabby and V3 are creating that unique bond together. We are all rooting for our young Jedi V3! Thank you for watching!

    Watching this carefully, at 2:04 Gabby put her head down and was willing, and V3 started off right raising his wings and moving closer to her, but he just didn't flap his wings to elevate up to mount properly. Gabby looked over at him and got annoyed as if to yell..."Your not doing it right!" Poor V3 after that. This really breaks my heart for him. Oh please dear God, grant this young Eagle of yours the knowledge to mate properly.

    Hi Kylie I think Gabby will continue to stay with V3 - she likes him and they do have a bond built already. Eagles usually do not mate on the nest so V3 is trying to do something that is normally awkward at best and he is trying to do something he has never done before. I think he will be more successful if he tries while on a branch - that will allow Gabby to assume the pose and also use her talons to hang on while V3 mounts her. And that will take practice too - V3 might slip off lol but he stands a far better chance a successful copulation that way ♥ V3 is a sweet loyal and devoted partner for Gabby - I hope that it works out for them ♥ His instincts are leading him in the right path!!! TC my friend and have a great day!

    @kylie5657 Hi Kylie❣️ Let's hope she does stick it out with him, until he can figure things out. Hopefully, her hormones won't gain control, and another "capable" dude doesn't come along! And, hopefully, her "complaining" won't discourage him.🙏 That was a little difficult to watch! I really feel bad for him, as he still seems to be stuck in the same "swish swish" mode. Someone suggested we send him a ladder.🪜😊 Today's update: Neither of them came to the nest overnight. He came in at around 5:20am, nest time, alone. He stayed until about 10:00am. At around 11:30am, Gabby flew in with a squirrel. He came shortly afterwards, and she moaned and squawked at him to stay away. He wisely stopped and perched instead of coming to the nest. She ate the squirrel, and he waited. When she was done, she flew to LOP. He waited, I guess to see if she would go to the nest, which she didn't do, and he left at about 12:30pm. She's been at the nest perched and digesting her meal, and as of 5pm, he hasn't returned. Hopefully, he found some good food, as well.❤ I'm still having internet connection issues. Long story! Apparently, someone goofed up and lots of people had issues, as a result.🤷‍♀️ If anything of special interest occurs, I will let you guys know. Greetings 👋🤩💕 to everyone and I pray you all have a great evening, sound restful sleep, and a blessed Tuesday! TC and Talk soon! 😇🤗🦅🌻💖😻💕

    @kylie5657 Hi Kylie❣️ V returned right after I posted my last comment. Lol! Isn't that always the way!! 😂 They stayed around until about 6pm, or so, and then they flew to the LY. They had two short nest visits, which were nice, but nothing happened! 🤭 I think they are both mystified and confused as to what to do about this problem they have been dealt!🤔 Harriet would have been kicking him and jumping on his back, by now. Maybe, that's what Gabby will eventually have to do. But, it's a risk! He may get really freaked out! 🤯 He might leave and fly to Canada, in fear of her! 🤣 Just kidding! 🤩 Although, I think this last attempt did unnerve him a bit, when she wailed and scolded him. 🫣 I don't watch the cams all day, but, if something is happening, I do keep them open and I can hear them, etc. I use several screens to monitor cams and chats. Plus, I speak to other viewers on some chats, if I have the time. And, I use other sources where I can get time stamps, etc., for the nests or animals that I follow. So, I can go to the cams and review the footage that is of interest to me. I can read through chats rather quickly as most of it is people saying hello and goodbye, etc. For this nest, if they start to talk too much on the chat, sometimes their posts get pulled and they get put in time outs, or, they are challenged, so, they are discouraged from having real meaningful discussions. They just stay polite and pretty quiet about what they're really thinking! 🤷‍♀️ Some nests put out times of highlighted events. Some have other websites where people post info and photos. Many use other social media sites that I can read. I can zip through them during the day to get times, etc. So, after I get the info for myself, it's not that much trouble to share it with you guys, as I know you're all busy and I don't mind helping you stay current, when I can. For the next week, I will be more tied up with Thanksgiving stuff and also the internet problems, etc. There were a lot more people viewing Gabby and V today to see what's going to happen. It's always the nest where there is something new or odd going on that gathers a crowd. Especially, those like myself who want to see and learn new things. So, we have a lot of company in wanting to know who, what and when! Lol! 😂 Stay happy and blessed! 😀😇🤗 Have a good night! 😴 Talk soon! TC! 😻💐🦅🌺💕

I imagine once the hormones are at peak levels for both of them, it will all come together. I'd be sad to see them miss this season. They need eaglets!

I lost my well thought-out comment! 💔 (so frustrating to do) When editing comments, have to hit discard option and I hadn't saved it yet and forgot to hit keep writing option instead...so back to the drawing board after brunch! ATTA BOY V3, KEEP UP THE SWISH-SWISH MANEUVERING! And Gabby's vocals are very loud! They started out as disapproval, then advanced to soft cries to indicate she's wanting to mate. V3: "Baby, make up your mind"! Gabby knows she's bonded to V3, he's been at her side for nearly a year already. She also apparently doesn't like to mate on the nest. I say it's time for these Lil' Love Birdies of Prey to declare a compromise... Gabby perches on Samson's Large Thick Stick (in the nest)

    Hi Libra yes I do think that V3 is young and inexperienced in the mating world. Last year he tried to swish his tail on the nest and did not even attempt to mount Gabby. I was talking to David Hancock - biologist at the Hancock Wildlife Foundation and he agreed with me that V3 just does not know what to do yet. Instincts will kick in eventually. I am a bit surprised it is taking this long though! But I guess the learning curve is different for each maturing male eagle. I have seen sub adults really have the mating technique down well and can have fertile eggs with a female too! And that is another piece of the puzzle - sometimes the mating is successful but the age of the eagles might cause eggs to be infertile. So we just have to wait and watch what happens and hope for the best ♥ TC

    Gabby knows he is interested in mating but they aren't communicating well. She might need to join him on the branch after an unsuccessful encounter to allow him to have a successful mating. He isnt understanding that the branch activities aren't good in the nest. I hope they have mated successfully off camera somewhere.

    Hi Cheshkat yes their communication is a bit off - they don't read each other's signals very well. That is part of V3's inexperience too - and Gabby is a very loud and strong female and is constantly chastising him with nips...it is all a part of figuring out each other's love language...once V3 can figure out the mating part their relationship & bond will strengthen considerably. ♥

    I think Gabby would be very receptive to V3 if he would mount her while they are on a branch rather than try and do this on the nest which is awkward at best. When V2 arrived last year if you remember he mated with Gabby two times and she did not resist at all!! V2 went for it on a branch! V3 will figure it out :)
