This is coverage from 6.28.24 with our star juvies DN17 & DN18 showing their sibling togetherness! The video starts with both juvies on the grass and they are both playing! Notice how DN17 (on the left) will dip its bottom on the ground and switch its tail. This is a mini butt bath! DN18 is watching and follows DN17 who bottom dips again! Finally after watching for couple of minutes, DN18 dips its bottom in the wet grass too! Monkey see Monkey do!
Both will perch next to one another on the branch and then when a food delivery is made to the ground, DN18 flies off and claims it on the fallen nest! DN18 eats for short time until DN17 arrives and gets a piece to eat too. DN18 will fly off carrying some of the food to eat elsewhere - another important lesson for survival out in the wild.
The rain comes down and both juvies are perched on the branch soaking wet! DN18 is on the left and DN17 on the right . Two wet peas in a pod!! They perch together and watch the cows grazing in the pasture and a deer eating as well. It is amazing how far they have come in such a short time since their nest collapsed and fell to the ground! Thank you for watching!
