Aria and Vento

This still just fascinates me!! I can't figure it out. . the streaming never matches the refresh cam. .so.. how far behind is it?

There's about a 5 minute difference between the streaming and the refresh cams. The one that's correct is the refresh cam - but I can't understand how or why there's a difference :egg16:

Thanks Warbler .. actually, I think its a lot longer. I watched for maybe 20 minutes in hopes of catching Ariane feeding on the streaming cam. . I never did. . I could "see" her feeding on the 3D cam (gosh. .I need to get me some glasses), but never saw it on the streaming cam. . so strange. .

Here's a lovely photo from Sandro on the Italian forum:

The chicks have eaten so much today that they should explode :egg7:

Two in front are snoozing away.

Parent comes in and they are like hey, we need to get up now.

Their delay gave one of the little ones time to get in a bunch of bites.

Edit to add picture

Weighed the chicks of Air and Wind (blog info)

~Today Giacomo Dell'Omo, the president of Ornis Italica, which manages the project Birdcam.it, went to weigh the Pullini of Air and Wind (and clean the lens of the cam). The chicks are all well! (April 21, 2012)

Wonder how much the little tubbies weighted :teehee:

I was watching also ljames...she feed them a long-long time...

Here is a video of the chicks being weighed by grisabella63 (Ilse Lerch on FB)

The photos are beautiful. Thank you everyone.

The chicks are all very healthy, weighing in at around 350 gm each, except for the smallest which was about 30 gms less :egg 19:

.
Today, they've been stuffed full of food as Ariane (twice) and a parent arrived with good sized prey (one of which was a homing pigeon - the ring was left on the uneaten leg and claw) three times in about 4 hours :egg14:

. Anybody got a remedy for indigestion in FP chicks? :egg7:

Here's what Piet_Peregrines posted on our Aria e Vento forum:

When I started recording the feeding was probably going all already for a long time (if I look to the chicks)
After 30 minutes!!! I stopped recording.
But the feeding continued for at least another half hour.

Click on the link below, for the 30 minutes video.

Ariane is very careful about feeding her brothers and sisters and only tears off little pieces :egg17:

The chicks were ringed this afternoon. As soon as the information is posted on the Italian forum, I'll post it here. Be ready to read whopping weights... But, with three feeding them, it's hardly surprising :egg5:

Warbler · **Joined:** Sun Aug 02, 2009 6:09 pm **Posts:** 375

As promised, here are the details of the chicks with their ring numbers:

WELBY Green ring CJ 2115
Weight: 805 gm :egg14:

Wing: 154 mm

KIT Lilac ring CJ 2112
Weight: 770 gm
Wing: 141 mm

MITRA Red ring CJ 2113
Weight: 775 gm
Wing: 150 mm

VIC White ring CJ 2114
Weight: 600 gm
Wing: 141 mm

At a guess I would say that there are definitely two females and a male, and a 'not sure' for the other one (Kit). However, all four are certainly doing well :thumbup
