<<Back	The First Family in the New Eastern Flock	Next>>
The new flock's first parents of wild chicks are #211 and #217. Why do you think the adults have their beaks open and pointing up? They are giving the unison call to say "We're a pair." Do you see their leg bands with their banding-code colors? Their smaller chick stays close to them. The bigger chick has gone wandering.
