This was the saddest thing to see from this brood, the actions of the parent with the food are heart breaking to watch, it even left the box & came back later still with the food in its mouth in the hope the chick would be their to feed, sadly it had already fledged 7/8 minutes earlier. The parent had the food in its mouth for I think it was over half an hour in the hope of feeding it. In the end the parent slowly gulped it down & eat it itself.😥😥
