The winds were perfect for the parents to arrive back home to feed their chicks! Manaaki sees a parent flying overhead and then come back to land...it is Mom L ♥ A happy Manaaki rushes to Mom for a feeding. Quarry chick will also come over hopeful to get another feeding. Mom L feeds Manaaki and Quarry will sit close by and wait.
While L is finishing her feeding to Manaaki, UQ chick's Mom LOL comes in and Quarry rushes to her hopeful to get a feeding ♥ LOL heads right down to her nest and feeds UQ. LOL looks like she is ready to leave but turns around and tops off UQ ♥ LOL will then walk by Manaaki who is wheeing loudly.
Manaaki then sees a third parent arrive in - he starts to beg but it is LKL who is a no nonsense albie and clacks at His Royal Roundness. LKL then heads towards his nest and feeds Quarry chick. Manaaki will let a beautiful skycall while LKL is feeding his chick.
How awesome it is to see these parents come in one right after another to feed their chicks. Thank you for watching!
