Portraits SWO

2 weeks before fledging, the juvs are spaced rather apart from one another with one parent guarding one juv. At this point in time, the juvs are extremely playful and very curious. They are observed to be doing a lot of wing stretching in order to get them in order? Everytime the adults sense danger from the air, they will call out loudly and personally chase the threats away. The juvs do not move much. They induldge in practising their talcon clutching by watching how their talcons move. One lazy juv loves to lean its own belly on a branch to rest. Other antics involve chewing on bark and leaves, which may constitute to some of their diet. I have not seen this with the adults.
