The sibling rivalry continued off and on throughout the day at each feeding. For the first few minutes of this feeding we see them both go after each other - the youngest at times giving the stare down going after the oldest who ends up with their foot on his head and wings over the youngest to show dominance. However, true to form, once full, the oldest falls into a food coma and the youngest gets a long and nice feeding by Mom until he falls into a food coma with a full crop - too full to even take food offered at the end. For those wondering - parental interference between sibling aggression is uncommon - most of the time the parent will just return to brooding which ends the battle. Thank you for watching!
