(OCTOBER 2024 HATCHES - session starts on PAGE 23)
2022-23 season's thread
One of the 3 eggs did not hatch. KATE gathered this info for us:
SunnyKate23 Jan 2023 4:24 PMUPDATE
NEWS 29th December 2022 The egg was removed and I 'candled' it with a torch. The egg has a slight leak through a small crack, but is otherwise intact. Despite using a very strong LED torch, I could see nothing, so I think the eggshell is too thick. It may be that the chick simply could not emerge. I'll offer it to the Australian Museum.
Two chicks fledged: Indigo and Rubus, both males. Indigo, the elder, was last seen on 18 March when Diamond blocked his entry to the nest box. Rubus fledged @ 46 days but died 9 days later, the result of a flying accident.

Oh, it's OK, but one of the kids is indignant:
Thanks Scylla, Yes they have now taken to wandering around , and have been just out of range of Camera, which like you said does give an "Eeek" moment Ha!!, but both parents very attentive and aware of dangers of the edge, so keep a very close watch on them.

Perry babies are so relaxing to watch compared to often vicious osplets - I wonder why the latter are so aggressive and the former not?
Here's a teeny vid of one wingercising:
