Ok so Later on in the day on Thursday I spotted the young one sat on the lamp post opposite but I haven´t had the time to post the video.
I´m about to go out, and guess who pops by for a visit behind one of their parents(they flew off and left the chick here);
(That wing tick is because it´s a young bird and was begging for food from the parent)

This chick is Peppers sibling I believe. They are the same couple who had chicks in the palm tree in front, this time they are in another tree. They bring me the egg shells.



edit; They brought another egg shell!!!!!!!

I'm starting to wonder if this is slightly illegal... I think they are an invasive species... Although in my defense I'm just the restaurant owner, and so it's not me raising chicks and releasing them....
I wonder if they brought me the second eggshell this time... I'll have a look when I'm home :)

I spotted the nest!

It is in the exact same spot they used the clutch before last! (when they brought me that first egg shell).

:loveshower:

Definitely TWO chicks, even though I only got one egg shell this time. They are looking good, fully feathered, I´m sure they will be away soon! Hopefully they come on down to say hello :loveshower: - I see them watching their parents napping on my railing ;)

I thought one of the chicks fledged the day before yesterday. I only saw one chick in the tree yesterday. But this morning they are both there...
I will start trying to upload some of the clips if they are any good :)

I am also wondering.... Will I get more egg shells :chin: The parents have been pretty ghostly. Haven´t seen the hen in quite a while. The dad has been feeding the chicks in the tree a few times a day and coming down here to eat.

We shall see..... :)

So the chicks fledged from their tree yesterday evening while I was out.
One had come over a few days prior to my balcony, and went back to the tree.

I received some bad news this morning, so it certainly made me smile to see the little one turn up just now :swoon:

Here is the video from the other day, I think I posted it in a different thread on AA;

Guess who came on over this evening?!......

And I was getting a little worried because I have only been seeing one chick with (dad? I´m presuming) - the other parent has been missing quite a while now.... maybe I will have eggshells appearing soon....
Anyway, I did see BOTH chicks today. How wonderful!
As I type this, the sparrow family has turned up... just soooo cute watching the daughter chase her mum around whilst snacking on seeds but still begging for mum to feed her :cloud9:
Oh, almost forgot to paste the video..
edit; most of the noise is Charlie calling upstairs :lol:
