SNAP Joan.
did you notice that EJ has changed her feeding method slightly? In the beginning, when the chicks were only some days old, she took a bit of fish in her beak, reached very very close to the chicks and put the fish very carefully in the beak of the little ones
now she takes a bit of fish in her beak, reaches over a bit but stops a small distance in front of the chicks beaks and lets them grab the fish (or sometimes really invites/forces them to grab it)
Cats and women will do as they please. Dogs and men should relax and get used to it.
Star is becoming an expert at stopping Storm from eating, but Storm has managed to free his/herself and has had a good share of the fish.
#2 managed to break free and got fed!

Star traps Storm again at the end of the feed.
