Bird number three weighs 3lbs 1oz. Possibly the first born. Within thirty days of hatching, young ospreys have increased in size to about 75 percent of their adult body weight. To achieve this rate of growth, the male osprey (one with a single mate and three chicks) must hunt for three to four hours daily.
