It is weigh in day for the chicks in the colony! Rangers Colin & Julia arrive at the nest and weigh TF first. He seems to struggle a bit in the basket - Colin whistles which calms and distracts the chick. They take his weight and when Colin puts TF back on his nest - TF clacks his displeasure at him! lol They head over to TFT's nest and take his weight and return him to the nest! When the rangers left, TFT will shake out his wings and then TF will follow!
TF came in at 7.9kg again this week and TFT came in at 7.6kg. The heaviest chick in the colony is 10.0kg! Thank you for watching!
