06:48 33 arrived with a large, live fish for breakfish
Maya soon followed
and grabbed the flapping fish
33 flew off. Maya stood on the fish for a bit and soon feed was underway
Maya soon stopped feeding the chicks leaving them to help themselves :-)
soon both give up and lie down
08:00 33 arrives with a large stick
