Message: <blockquote data-quote="Long Lashes" data-source="post: 392726" data-attributes="member: 41">What a great video this is Michelle.    From what I understand one of the presenters was saying that the egg(s) might not even be fertilised, have I got that right?  And if the egg(s) are fertilised then their is a small chance that they might be viable?  So we will just have to wait and see.I didn't realise that Duke has been fighting off intruders, poor guy I've given him a hard time and he is doing his best for such a young adult (I wonder who the intruders are?)   So it looks like this season is very much as you have previously said Michelle . . a learning curve for these two.   I do feel sorry for Duchess though, she is trying to keep those eggs incubated and also keep herself fed.  <img src="https://images.spot.im/image/upload/q_70,fl_lossy,dpr_3,h_100,w_94,c_scale/v200/b1260b0b906215e22e77fe2b028f60f6" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 282px" />She could do with someone like Guy who stocks the larder full of food like he does for Lipstick.I did catch Duke briefly sitting on the eggs the other day .. <img src="https://images.spot.im/image/upload/q_70,fl_lossy,dpr_3,h_67,w_100,c_scale/v200/47e53f1da8d9de5075bed862fba82149" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 435px" />He look a bit awkward , buth then he might've been stressed and looking out for those  intruders.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Meanwhile Lipstick and Guy are a complete joy to watch again How I love this photo with those three fluffy heads and the proud parent looking down on them :love5: ... I'm so glad they only had the three this year.Oh no, the chicks are already  bonking each other with their heads  <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> .. I guess it really is a fight for survival.  They have to learn quickly how to defend themselves and fight for food.This  made me smile ... <img src="https://images.spot.im/image/upload/q_70,fl_lossy,dpr_3/v200/34a6109ff775d349b482ce46df1f43b8" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 516px" />One of the chicks pops his head out from under Guy's wing <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />And this one ...<img src="https://images.spot.im/image/upload/q_70,fl_lossy,dpr_3/v200/4715ea04d3c24cbc3b05558de33e7691" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 535px" />Guy has a little nibble of his fluffy baby <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Now we have these three eaglets there is always something happening in Guy and Lipstick's nest, but I'm also enjoying the contrast with young Duke and Duchess who are literally still learning what to do, its made it very interesting this year.</blockquote>
