Whilst the male chick, Yellow, spent maximum of the day gone by off digital camera, the Nationwide Aviary adjusted the falconcam to view the feminine chick (Blue) at the inexperienced perch. When she wasn’t preening or sleeping she flapped so much to workout her wings. See and listen to(!) the flapping on this 2-minute video.
When Blue stops flapping she does an overly juvenile factor. She doesn’t shut her wings and tuck them up. She simply permits them to suspend.
Younger wings get drained.
p.s. Come on right down to Schenley Plaza to look at the peregrines on the point of fly.
