Hungry Eaglets. June 28, 2024

It’s been a busy morning in the nest.
Vic and Sid are entering their 12 week.
“From twelve-sixteen weeks, the young eagles hone flight and landing skills, and experience hunting and foraging on their own for the first time. Juveniles have poor skills at this early stage, so they depend on their parents for food. Most eaglets will still return to the nest tree for food deliveries and rest, although they spend the day flying and hunting throughout the adults’ home range. Adult eagles will continue to provide food to their young at this age, as they encourage them to become self-reliant. The young eagles may scavenge roadkill on their own since hunting proficiency takes several months.”
This morning Ellie has been busy bringing in two rabbits and other form of meat 🥩. I noticed also Eddy pop in briefly too but I wasn’t sure he came with any food. Things happen so quickly.
I included another short very sweet moment as Sid shows Sid some love ❤️
I am to tired today to edit hence the lengthy videos. Watch as much or as little as you want.

The other eaglet fledged? Thanks for answer and greetings from Germany.

Presently both still around the nest. They will remain around the nest and tree(s) for over a month or so as they sharpen their flying skills and learn hunting skills from the adults. Generally by the fall they will have expanded their territory.
