3/30/2023~ E22 Does Not Welcome E21 Home.. E22 Very Aggressive Towards E21.

E 22 Not happy with E21 on the nest. We watched E8 do this to E7 when they returned to the nest and E7 also did this to E8 when they made it back to the nest tree. Sometimes siblings are not welcomed back as nicely as we think they should be...
E22 is a force to be reckoned with..
Thank you SWFEC , hosted by Dick Pritchett Real Estate, for allowing us the opportunity to view these amazing eagles.

E22 just upset that E21 didn’t bring him breakfast

[@Leo-xv4ub]

I think this happens because any eaglet in the nest is expecting food to be delivered, so any incoming eagle is going to be mobbed when landing on the nest, like M15 is every time he returns. No food brought back when landing means a big hissy fit and tantrum.

[@lb1460]

They were back to side by side later on. Baby E's are strong and beautiful...both of them❤🦅🦅

[@paulw4310]

It's great to see that E22 has become a lot more aggressive recently! Not for the sake of revenge for E21's past aggression. E22 is a bird of prey and birds of prey must be aggressive to survive.

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

Absolutely. But it was still a surprise to see. 😊

[@paulw4310]

@@flyfreeqhrt5484 It was. The one that surprised me was when E22 forced M15 out of the nest and bit him in the leg on the way out. I guess E22 never heard the expression, don't bite the talons that feed you!

[@lindamcgilbra7311]

E22 is learning to be protective of his newly gained territory. Good for him. That’s the way of the wild. That’s the way they survive.

[@paulw4310]

@@lindamcgilbra7311 Exactly 👍

[@CAMDEC1217]

Poor E21 lol. This was hard to watch. Almost looked like he wanted to eat her. Started to de-feather and all for heaven sake. I am glad after a while it was like old times again. I think we will find these two leave the nest a lot earlier than previous Es. They have been forced to defend really early.

[@angelawagley5937]

Yes, I was watching live and thought the same thing about E22 looking at E21 as prey. I was like, please don’t pull out one of those blood line feathers! Thank goodness E22 calmed down.

[@judytruax8876]

I believe he thinks 21 has food!

[@nicoley8491]

He was so mad she didn't bring food! At first I was shocked but totally understood after a min or so... he wants food😊 so proud of E21 even if the owl forced her to fledge! I was a mess this morning hoping she would be ok then I saw her take off!! What a relief!

[@astridchinasen2797]

I’ve seen eaglets getting possessive with the nest. This is my nest. They’ll even chase the parents away. Drop the food and go because my nest. E22 be nice to your sibling. I hope E21 is ok after that owl attack. ❤️🦅

[@bootsiekeegan4401]

Hope E22 fledges soon!!!

[@luv2fly745]

E22 to E21: Where's the fish??!!!? Now go back out there and don't come back empty handed..er, empty 'taloned'.😅 This is how eaglets react when the parents fly back to the nest without food too. Just hunger..not meanness.

[@suzannecarpenter4413]

E22 thinks that E21 can fly now and it is E22’s nest now. Sibling rivalry. Later they will share a branch together, or lay beside of one another.

[@mariagricius8994]

Well, looks like E22 is getting his revenge from how he was treated when he was younger. A survivor he is.

[@marythepaintergirl1257]

Iam upset poor e22 had some issues when tiny, bless his heart. He will be ok. ❤

[@lindaadelwerth8042]

Wow didn't expect that from E22! Shocker actually! Hope they settle back down.

[@parakeet8157]

""What, no food?"

[@aljay2955]

Be careful how you treat your younger siblings. E22 my hero. Endured all the pecking from E21 and hunger from not being allowed to eat.

[@jen9254]

I was thinking he was saying omg I was so worried, I’m gonna sit on you - Dad said not to let you leave until he gets back!

[@Gamer1234brendan]

It’s okay E22 m15 hasn’t forgotten about you fesity eagle🙂

[@glittergrl71]

I love this so much ❤❤

[@miriamwolfe1421]

Maybe in bird behavior E22 was just overly excited by it all. Like when football players jump all over the one who scored the winning play it looks like they're attacking him.

[@De.D1]

😂

[@hoangthang1]

E 22 was bullied since childhood, if he didn't try he could have starved to death under E 21's beak. Now E 22 rising is a must. I like 22.

[@bobbyd160]

Don’t be jealous E22. Your time is coming.

[@user-ig3of4in4v]

I think E22 is very happy to see E21 come back.We can see he hops & wants to kiss E21.but his emotion is too excited to control his behavior.and E21 shocked to shrink back.

[@aprilhernandez4840]

Bad boy E-22 😮😂

[@loretalabitag9744]

I think E22 thought that her food that flew to her,maybe she's so hungry we can see she's plucking d feather to eat it🥲🥲

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

Wonder what that was all about. E22 is probably confused that his sister flew. 21 got very submissive from 22’s little attack.

[@donstevenson3211]

The submissiveness is surprising. The only thing I can think of is that it somehow tied to the owl strike.

[@barbkull7533]

Getting even for all the bonking??

[@judytruax8876]

Hungry!

[@chrysology]

Now E21 has flown away and E22 got punked off by last night by an owl so he can't even get back to the nest, the dumb ass lol. Would love to see E21 return now with E22 stuck in the basement, or maybe even on the ground by now.

[@De.D1]

What happened to the kissy beaky cuddling they just had, not to long ago? Double 💕 🦅

[@beachgal2023]

Damn, E22 paying E21 back for all the pecking. And E21 is now submitting too E22. WOW

[@janetmcguffey1394]

E21 was loving being an "only child/eagle" !!!

[@cindycarman2735]

This was just so hard to watch! This is upsetting me so! I pray things settle down. I think E22 thought it was an intruder and that's sad!!

[@fidelaromo6705]

No harm done ,this raptors are, tough,

[@fidelaromo6705]

Pretty sure she. Would have reacted if it started to hurt

[@cindycarman2735]

Thank you

[@sandygrice]

I beleave he thought it was a food delivery, sounds like he thinks 21 is hiding food.he's such a greedy little boy❤

[@user-rl2mh6vx9m]

И всё же это неожиданное поведение от младшенького... В прошлых сезонах такого не замечала..

[@r.j.2546]

I hope E,-21 fights for their space in the nest.

[@bonniebircheat9718]

Wow he was trying to pluck her feathers out poor e22 she made him that way beating him up so much

[@debbiefabro887]

Come on guys!!

[@4winds773]

That is what happens when you are known for bonking your sibling or is it normal when an eagle flies to the nest there is a food response

[@corataningco2188]

E22 said where did you come no food?

[@simplycurlyde]

Yes! 21 made it back to the nest already! Just a little upsetting 22 was acting so when 21 came back. Felt bad for 21, after being knocked off by GHO and 22 treating 21 like that. Watching 22, I still think 22 is a female, already showing dominance .

[@mindylee7488]

This is the most vicious I’ve seen at SWFL. I’ve seen it at other nests. It’s because Harriet is gone. Yes a rumble is typical but not this. Very sad.

[@fledge1234]

I didn't know which one was doing the attacking. Hard to watch!

[@WildWestGal]

Was this the homecoming 21 received after fledging this morning and being off the nest all night? Upsetting to see 21 under very aggressive attack for nearly 15 minutes and probably continuing after the video ended. 22 obviously sees 21 as an intruder now. I hope 21 wasn't hurt will 22's talons and beak. With M not guarding the nest anymore and that nasty owl... worrisome.

[@teresakronvall7030]

Getting back at him (21) for all the times he was mean to him (22).

[@spenland6261]

Sad cause all 22 did the whole time 21 was gone was sulk and scream at dad to go get her. Even saved a fishtail from breakfast, now this? Not nice 22 I expected more from you!

[@pattykat1124]

They’ve been thru too much!!!

[@judytruax8876]

Very hard to watch.😢

[@bootsiekeegan4401]

I love both owl strike ruined EVERYTHING!!!

[@teresastudio1]

This is so saaaaad! I was saying, @stop it” out loud! Breaks my heart! Do you think the E came back w a different smell causing confusion to its sibling?

[@deborahfaithreiki]

I don't think 22 is being agressive, I think he's relieved to have 21 back and was likely a little worried to be left alone in the nest. They're siblings and have spent every moment together so far. Either that or he was just excited to have 21 back. Looked like he was hugging 21.

[@Eagle_Goddess]

😢❤

[@KayCee_13]

Omg..the drama on this thread..🤦🏻‍♀️

[@spenland6261]

Head up 21 your 3 lbs bigger, show him why! Don't you let him pull your feathers like that and tell him he better pray he lands on a nice comfy branch like you did AND found your own way back. Be proud! I am.

[@D_M121]

E22 is just mad that E21 left him alone. E21 should of flapped its wings and made him fledge. lol

[@snugapug97]

Sibling rivalry 😅

[@emilyneary7140]

One looks now to have an injured wing :0(

[@ninagarrand2105]

Now E 22 liked to be alone and eat without haste and without witnesses, so he did not want to have competition with his sister E 21.

[@suzannehafer9724]

This was hard to watch. E22 behave yourself!

[@RealtorJaniceWester]

Looks like E21 is trying to pluck feathers from E22 to me

[@tiggy7429]

Oh my goodness me, what a little horror E22 is being to E21😢

[@ninagarrand2105]

The poor eaglet E 22 suffered from his sister for 2.6 months. She pecked at him, he was starving, and now his turn has come and it will be honest ....

[@eileenjones3918]

E 22 hasn't learned what Karma is.....E 21 did when it came to food with E22 but now its E22's turn to learn Karma when he returns from his fledge. Should be interesting.

[@Grannynan]

Seems like a play for dominance. 21 is taking it a little too far, for my taste. Where is M15?

[@laura887]

it's 22 that's the aggressive one in this video

[@bootsiekeegan4401]

Not buddies any more

[@mollyk2883]

May be some day E21 pay back to E22 ~ so D . 😤😖😫😭
