SWFL Eagles 12-20-24. E25 Waits for E24 to Settle as Dad Feeds Both; F23 Brings an Armored Catfish

Not crazy about bobking or sibling rivalry...I truly see no reason to highlight it...but wanted to thank you for all you do and wish you a Merry Christmas

@Renee29forever. YW 🙂. To be clear, I don’t like it either; however, the fight for survival is a part of their lives. I do include it in the videos, and time stamp it so viewers can skip it. I never joke about it, nor do I make light of it. It is painful to them to be on the receiving end, as evidenced by their high pitch chirping when pain is inflicted. Merry Christmas to you also! 🎄

@@androcat12 Its also something that will make E25 stronger as we witness every season with the youngest! I have walked away from feedings since precious E6...and still find them so incredibly fullfilling! Sure appreciate your reply! Happy Holidays!

I hear our little squees ❤. That bully 24!! I hope little 25 gets strong & rises up . 😢❤

The bonks have been pretty mild imo. Nice steady food from M and their Mama F23 keeping these E's well fed.❤❤

It seems to me that E24 isn’t really aggressive, but more reacting to E25’s movements. They can both hold their own so far. F23 was like M15’s got this so I’ll just have a snack and let him at it. Nice to see her letting him feed and not interfering. 😊

How cute!!🤓

I think these two eaglets have met their match in each other on the sibling rivalry part, they both give as good as they get. They both end up with full crops after all the rivalry and off to sleep they go. That nest bowl looks so comfy, i think i could sleep there Thank you Androcat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@easternpainterpg3697]

I am sure E24 is a male and E25 a female! She was almost the size of E24 and had just been born!! Lucky little eaglets! They have a wonderful Mom and Dad,

[@PriscillaD225]

That’s the way to do it E25. Just lay low until E24 goes into a food coma and you can eat in peace until you’re full. CamOps are giving us such fantastic closeups. Thank you so very much Androcat 💙🦅🦅💙

[@MardyR925]

We’ll just as the schedule indicated, one week old and sibling rivalry rears it’s head. May I ask a development question? Is there a point out in the future and age whereby the behavior subsides? Fortunately, E25 is a good sized chick and tenacity at-his/her entrance was fierce. I am relieved this chick knows how to play the Game of Survival- a good ducking and waiting game.

[@sergei7995]

I worry about E25. E24 is aggressive and stronger . Thanks a million for your video!❤

[@androcat12]

Sergei. YW 🙂. We all tend to worry about the younger siblings. E24 is more dominant, but E25 tests the waters sometimes! 💙
