Cal Falcons: Annie lets Archie help with feeding 🍗🦴😋 2024 May 18

New this season at the Cal Falcons nest is dual feedings. While it has only happened 3 times, we're still intrigued by both Archie's interest and Annie's acceptance of such feedings.

Really fantastic “day in the life of” video… thank you 🙏 so much… a real joy and treat to see this wonderful peregrine family❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Archie is a wonderful father and partner to Annie 🥰❤

I think Annie has given up telling Archie to leave, she knows he doesn’t listen now, and realizes she needs his help the bigger they get. Little blue is so cute, let’s his sisters go first, then creeps his way round to get his fill. Little genius! Beautiful family, thanks SKH, so adorable❤

Archie still feeding baby bites 😊😊

squeaking squawking screeching... ah, the sound of love... N.o.t.

Archie had some nice little father-daughter time there with Yellow, though I'm guessing her thoughts were mostly "why such small pieces???" 😅 Well done, Archie and Annie.

Skimpy fixin's wins no love. 😝

Definitely, a bang-up job by A&A. Apparently, Annie's not used to feeding four chicks. Is it because she could use Archie's help that she doesn't shoe him away? At least not this time? You know, the biological imperative -- to speed-feed every one of these rascals into surefire fledgling-hood.

I think #4 would have liked those small pieces. When Annie offered him a sort of gross-looking huge chunk of what looked like feathers and perhaps a leg and/or foot, he turned his head away--lol.

@05:25 Archie's amscray: hilarious.

[@ishmyl99]

@00:55 I agree, SKH. #4 playing it cool... and self-preservationally savvy. I like this little guy. Smart. Plus, he's softer on my ears. 😜

[@6falconsue]

Don't tell anybody, but #4 is my favorite. He's very smart and has a certain wisdom to him. All the siblings love their puddle piles together. I haven't noticed the females bullying the males, either, so far!

[@ishmyl99]

@@6falconsue I love this.

[@leslie-dg4um]

Wee #4 is my favorite, too. I agree with you - he is smart and wise beyond his days! And of course, adorable. Do you remember how Zephyr deferred to Rosa and Luna last year? He had a quiet strength.

[@6falconsue]

@@leslie-dg4um And when Zeph fledged, he did it around 3 in the morning, probably not wanting to make a fuss--lol. (I'll bet he freaked out his parents, though...) Everybirdie deferred to Rosa!

One big girl is easy to figure out yet. It is good that Archie doesn't want to risk feeding her😅
