Fledging usually takes place between 10-14 weeks. Today Luna chose to branch on the Y branch for the first time! Sandy did try and follow Luna but changed her mind a couple of times - probably not enough room for her at the base! Luna stayed up on the Y branch for 9 minutes before making his dismount perfectly to the nest! 🎉 Well done Luna! After branching to a new branch, Luna joined Sandy at the right side of the nest rails. Sandy is on the left, Luna on the right as they give one another beaky kisses. Luna being the playful boy - pulls at Sandy's head feathers a couple of times lol Sandy will make her soft honks.
