And feeding continued non-stop, almost every couple of hours, or less.
Doing justice to the parent's hard work of hunting and providing for them, devouring every part of the prey as the parent tore apart what looked like a squirrel catch.
No part was beyond impossible to swallow as each was consumed in entirety.
And no sibling rivalry here as each was duly fed.
Another week later, could the chicks now be only 5 weeks old, looking almost cuddly! Certainly very sturdy, energetic and alert.
It's heartening to know that they were protected from the daily afternoons of violent thunderstorms, kudos again to the parents' for their choice of tree and a solidly-built nest.
How the taman had been ravaged by only one afternoon of vicious wind and rain ....
All the way down to the riverside.
A fallen Macaranga gigantea or Mahang Gajah meant loss of food to lots of birds here.
The leaves of the Mahang Gajah were heavily loaded with potential fruits.
