The Grand Prize
Uploaded: August 31, 2012 03:21:31
Well in the end the biggest strongest chick wound up with the biggest most succulent partially digested minnow of the of the meal. Once they are a bit larger the prompting of the parent birds to feed them becomes of greater importance. At a certain point the food goes directly from one beak to the other . That makes it even harder for the weaker less aggressive chicks to survive because they must battle even harder to get a fair share as there are no scraps to pick from the nest ...
NOW GO OUT ENJOY YOURSELVES & HAVE A RELAXING MEAL THIS WEEKEND , TRY FISH !! ;o)
