Our Princess Spirit🦅. Never seen an eagle that is so loud all the time 😂. Such patient parents, Jackie and Shadow💕.

[@steemdup]

I adore how Spirit squees when she flies - doesn't matter if mom or dad have a fish for her, or if she's just going to the roost tree.

[@steffie0383]

Has anyone else noticed how quiet Jackie's been??? 🤫 I guess Spirit complaining made Jackie realize how annoyed poor Shadow must be....🥰 I actually think that's what makes Jackie super special because she always has alot to say to Shadow. But not since Spirit got here...she's quiet.

[@steemdup]

HAHA - excellent point!

[@s1nd3r3llee]

Had not thought of that. Shadow with two noisy girls might be too much! 😂

[@jacquicoder7160]

I believe you are quite right, Spirit's loudness has taught her how annoying her own volume can be. Sha has indeed been much more quiet.

This Precious Nugget has our hearts. ( I called her Little Nugget when we didn't know if she was female or male, she will always be My Little Nugget, she is so precious) We are going to be lost the day she leaves on her gran journey.I cried the day the flew off the nest, my heart dropped when I woke up and seen the nest empty. Thank you for sharing the videos with us Cali Condor.

[@rhondabenz3150]

Hearing Spirit announce she's coming makes me laugh every time ♥️🦅

[@VeldaE12]

I think of her screaming: Oh boy Oh boy, dinner!

[@lisaschwall2950]

Me too!😊

[@tammic.a.t.crazyaunttammi9275]

Cali, I think you forgot the last part of the title..."MY nest"! Haha! Isn't she just a character? I missed all of today's footage so thank you very much for sharing this. You made my day!!

[@s1nd3r3llee]

Thank YOU, so much for these wonderful videos if Spirit and her sweet, devoted parents, Jackie and Shadow. Love this family, as they seem quite loving. How amazing to get a “bird’s eye view” of them and their lives. Again, BIG thank YOU!

[@easygoing1571]

Hi Spirit ! Your mommy&daddy love you So Much ! You should bring -Them- a fish ! Show them you can and be brave ! You will make them So Proud ! You will feel so proud of yourself ! All of us too ! Sweet Girl ! ❤️❤️❤️🦅🦅🦅❤️❤️❤️

[@jaknap1]

Hi this is Spirit. Thank you for the comments. Yes I have the best parents but I’m little tired of eating fish everyday.

[@s1nd3r3llee]

PS @Cali Condor, You are a wonderful mod! You always give helpful info to everyone and are timely in answering chatters’ questions. You are much appreciated, as are all the mods on the FOBBV chat! Eagle Love! 😄🦅🦅❤️

[@debdew7125]

Hi Cali 🙋🏻‍♀️Thanks for another wonderful video! Princess Spirit 🦅 of Big 🐻 Bear has so much spirit. She's like a little diva! 💜 Only the best fish for her! God love her! 💜

[@miditrax]

and the biggest! 🐋

[@Angiehere-1]

Spirit has it so good. Jackie is a great Mom!

[@nomado3650]

Cali, your video compilations are fantastic. I’m catching up with this family and your videos help me a lot !

[@RayaEagleWings]

Thank you Cali 😊I get off work & catch up when I’m not working . Appreciated lots! Love you Spirit 🦅♥️Jackie 🦅♥️and Shadow 🦅♥️ Spirit you are amazing & unique! So glad you’re still around ☀️

[@cjuuljohnston]

Oh my goodness, sweet spirit is a spoiled girl LOL 🤓💕

[@taffyb4007]

That fish is a whopper!...

[@sharlynst]

I love how Spirit watches her mama 🦅❤️

[@sophieh9387]

Yes, I agree.. Spirit intensely watches Jackie, you can see looking at Spirit, she is soaking up servival skills, flying etc.. It is magical to witness!!

[@janajamer734]

Pretty impressive Mama Jackie coming in with that whopper of a 🐟! No wonder you and Papa Shadow are panting so hard... 1- ur own weight 2- weight of prey/fish 3- weather conditions 4- Princess Spirit 🦅 flying hot on ur airstream!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Thanks for this video, Cali, it was much quieter than I expected it to be from the title. I can't believe that Sprit actually let Jackie have the rest of that fish, with barely a complaint. Is she getting more mature and realized she should share when she had had her fill? Jackie is so patient with her.

[@lisaschwall2950]

I have seen it happen a few times, BUT not TOO MANY! Listen to her chattering! ❤️ It sounds like the young Spirit!‼️

[@Rosary716]

Spirit is sharing !

[@scamassassin2538]

Our girl Spirit sure is reminding me of my ex wife!! If she’s not eating or sleeping… she’s yapping and complaining!! She hogs all the food and refuses to share!… and she will bite your feet until she gets her way!!🦅🤣🤣

[@Darknlovelyone85]

😂😂

[@lisaschwall2950]

Spirit sure can tear her food apart pretty fast! She’s very strong‼️❤️😍

[@nomado3650]

Spirit is such a chatterbox!!

[@sherryfuzesy9030]

Sweet moments with Spirit and Jackie, really makes clear how complex their relationship was,thanks 💚💙

[@shhh8963]

These video titles are so adorable 😍 whoever titles these does a great job!

[@douglas9220]

My goodness Spirit. LOL

[@lildebboston455]

U Betta share sum of the 🐟 wit ur Mama...

[@sophieh9387]

I love Cali "Titles" of the videos.. This one too, shows the true character of the lovely Spirit.. 😇

[@miditrax]

the less we see of Spirit, the louder she seems! 😂

[@pearlgee5970]

That’s a HUGE fish, Jackie! Why do their tongues stick up like that? I’ve seen Shadow do it too. Is is from stress when Spirits screams like that? BTW, my cat had gotten used to it, she doesn’t even open an eye anymore🤣😂😅

[@flyfreeqhrt5484]

I’m glad she’s learning how to eat by herself. Mom and dad still teaching her to survive.

[@zoemadrigal562]

Cali i wonder if Simba was like Spirit growing up? i never had a chance to know and watch Simba i just known it from Cindy.

[@SW13333]

Yes, very similar. I think Simba was more demanding (and louder) yanking feet, toes, legs,ankles when Jackie or Shadow would fly into the nest with food. :):) - Stephanie

[@zoemadrigal562]

@@SW13333 Thank you very much ... good to know, is it because Spirit is a girl so she's less wilder than Simba? loll

[@schen5425]

@@SW13333 and here I've been thinking that Spirits way was original 😉

[@s1nd3r3llee]

It is a good thing for Spirit to have that possessiveness of her food and “fight”. It could mean her survival during her first year out of the nest. Go Spirit! We so want her to succeed!

[@user-dl8sm6mj4u]

真想看媽媽的表情🤗👏😁😂

[@joyceserra8091]

When is Spirit going to catch her own fish

[@lisaschwall2950]

I LOVE THE CHATTER‼️❤️

[@marythepaintergirl1257]

Spirit is a great flyer whoa. Powerful and fast. Yup MY world she says 😂

[@carolynjimenez9539]

That girl I do all work and she gets the fish

[@victorapalkow8681]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💙🤗

[@delciadasilvaprates1562]

Mamãe Jackie ficou cansada para trazer o peixe.

[@sharonkerr967]

Wow, they fly so fast, I wonder how many mph. they fly

[@VeldaE12]

Eagles, not withstanding, that’s sure a noisy place!

[@nomado3650]

There’s a parking lot or some workshops on the right’ 🫣

[@missdeb1842]

I miss spirit 😞 hey can anyone tell me will spirit ever return to the nest???

[@CaliCondor]

Spirit is likely off on her Grand Journey by now. Since she is not banded, there will be no way to ID her going forward, we could only estimate her age while she is still in Immature plumage. If she decides to come back, she will likely be treated as an intruder and escorted out of the territory... this is not something that I would like to witness 😊

[@ljmac64]

So much like her Momma!
