Is It Time to Eat Yet?
In their 7th week we see an attentive mother feeding a chick. Note: the dark back and wing feathers of the adult female versus the chick’s lightly tipped feathers. It takes as much as six pounds of fish a day to feed this family of three. The male will deliver the majority of the daily catch. The harsh reality of having to fend for themselves is about to take place. Feedings will become less frequent and the mother will encourage the young to leave the nest. Vocalized begging will become incessant.
