l know, l feel sorry because at this rate there will no chicks this year. Seren really does have to wind her neck in and clam down, then l might, just might take to her
If Seren got a minor personality transplant then she may have potential. I reckon she would fight fiercely to protect any chicks which is a positive but the fact that she doesn't seem to like the route to gain said chicks is a huge negative.
Monty deserves better than this, he is best rid of all of these 3 so far.
He needs to feed himself and get rid of her. The fish she has will last a long while yet.
I wonder if she has eggs and will settle down if she has.
DOP said last week that she had a concave chest - i.e. she was underweight. She needs to put on weight to get into breeding condition - hence her demands for food and reluctance to mate.

The voice of reason, HILARY :-) I feel sorry for all 3 of the young females, they really don't know what it's all about yet and they've not long got back on (probably) their first, mega, trip home.
On the other hand, poor Monty deserves better, he's worked his little butt off for all of them, in varying degrees.

Lets hope she settles down soon then, HilaryJ ... I want her to be nice for Monty, so will give her time to recover her journey, and hope she mellows :-)
Have you noticed that Seren has 'Snake Eyes' i.e. two round brown dots on the white feathers on either side of her head near the crown, just where the dark streaks from the base of her beak end? It's quite a good ID feature.
Edit - I had another go at describing it!

Well, I'm giving up, almost (just seen a close-up of Seren on the screen, once I'd got it to load properly). The cam is driving me nutz, this forum won't display properly, every move takes forever or has to be done umpteen times, I've had it. Oh, and now Seren's head has gone postage-stamp size >:( Am worn out!!! (Swearwords!)
