LizzieM 9,539 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Congratulations Darkazana, you're doing well....... 9 grandchildren, we've only got one and she'll be 1 year old on Friday. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks Lizzie. Happy Birthday on Friday to your little one. They are a rare treat, to be treasured. I do sometimes feel a little greedy. We have 6 daughters between us, four of whom have started families. Scarey thought was that if all our girls produced 3 children each (as we did respectively) we could eventually have 32 round the table at Christmas!!!! We shall be hiring the village hall! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,539 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Maybe if there's a little boy Falcon this year he can be named George as he hatched today 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Watched for some time but did not get a glimpse of the 4th - must be a shy little bugger! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 #8 Trevor, has the fourth one hatched? I was just having a peek and thought I saw a glimpse of an egg as the parent bird was shuffling around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Morning Darkazana, As at 0950hrs your time, 3 very hungry white balls of fluff getting fed and the remaining egg has still not hatched. If you check their site now, you will see the three chicks as one parent has flown and the other is sitting further down the ledge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can't see the fourth hatching after a gap of three days...I reckon infertile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Ah well three is enough. Still missed them, Trevor. I had to be in work by 9. No doubt will get a chance soon, when they are too big to be sat on. I remember last year, it was really funny watching mu trying to get them all under her body.

poohbear 1,360 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Your time. Well if the forum will insist on losing everyones locations I wouldn't know that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Poohbear (#20), I made the same mistake regarding the birthday cake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 And to avoid any further confusion being caused to members on the Forum, I will do the same with the Falcon thread that I did with the Birthday calls.....let others post the information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 My post was in jest, Trevor S, as my blushing smiley would suggest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I know that, MB - no hassle at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Back on thread...... missed the post about the fourth egg hatching, but just had a peek and it's getting to the stage of the balls of fluff being a little bit too much to handle now. Parent bird is really struggling to keep them all under cover 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Latest update. No parent bird on nest so all the babies can be clearly seen at the moment. They are growing well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,539 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I was watching two feeds today. The first at about 4pm when Dad concentrated on the 3 bigger babies and I was talking to him, willing him to notice the 4 (smallest one) He must have heard me because he then spent time feeding the little guy. Then at around 8pm and supper time, this time only two were fed with the other two giving up begging and snuggled down. This afternoon I noticed a lot of pigeon feathers on our lawn and was wondering if the falcons had come over searching for food, we're less than 2 miles from the city centre. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
