[On 20 May, Following weighing, I removed all mealworms
r dogFood From the aviary. The birds then ate
tored dogFood (unknown quantity). However, the
lack of Food did have an impact on nestling growth.
This reduced Food regime was maintained until 1200
→ today (22 May), when adults were provided with
both dogFood r mealworms. The adults quickly Filled
the chicks to satiation, after which I removed all
but G and took them to M1/1(300) where they
were switched with the 2 possibly doomed kids
there (see Walt's notes). These 2 kids were
nursed a bit, then added to the aviary nest at
1500. They were doing well at 1900.
