The chicks a growing and learning. Food spats and full crops |RSPB Abernethy Forest, Scotland
The 3 remaining kids are learning to control the fights.
It's more pushing and hitting than anything.. also once the prey is under control, the remaining kids turn around and wait for the next chance..
It all seems so civilized, but the battle is still going on. The youngest is still to small to dominate in a fight, and is depending on the food delivered by mum.. as she does the feeding. Dad just drops off the prey.
Luckily mum arrived with a bunny.. and the kids got the biggest crops possible.
