Philip on the defense

Philip is noisier than usual. Every time Sylvia emerges out of the nest box to eat or gather nesting materials, Philip is right beside her, making threatening sounds while beating his wings at imaginary predators. It's funny how, they've never been to the wild, yet they still do some of the things wild birds do.

Sylvia's getting better at gathering nesting materials, and Philip has been stuffing himself with all the leafy greens we've been feeding them. This is all so exciting. We're going to have chicks soon!
