Sandy & Luna saw a beautiful sunrise on the nest & Jackie & Shadow brought in sticks. Sandy & Luna's reaction to Jackie's stick delivery is priceless (I put in slomo). Jackie will depart & return with a fish - and Luna mantles and claims it. Luna also was the first to self feed on the fish. Sandy came around after a few minutes and steals the fish. Jackie is on the nest & she is watching the interaction between the eaglets. She wants to feed them but Sandy said "No thanks Mom" Luna approaches Sandy and they both self feed. Then the Tug-O-fish will begin! Luna wins around one and eats the fish until Sandy steals it again. There were at least four tug-o-fish competitions and they were equally matched with the fish going back and forth between Sandy & Luna. They both are 2:2!! ♥ It took Sandy & Luna 52 minutes to consume the fish between themselves with no help from Mom!! Great job! The competition, although mild between Sandy & Luna, is an important part of their development and skill set in learning how to steal food and be able to survive on their own in a few short weeks from now. Practice sessions like this, on the nest, is important for them to become more aggressive during food deliveries. We are already seeing an increase in toe grabbing & biting during the deliveries. Sandy & Luna are 63 days old - 9 weeks today! Thank you for watching!
