[I have no love]

your Aegolius is very happy indeed! So much that it has hatched completely! (my sincerest apologies for the delay of your second clutch. I have had little access to me desktop.)

[Aliar]

(no problem, I am in no special hurry, thanks!) Hello, little Aegolius! Aren't you beautiful. I suppose I really will have to think up good names for you both now!
I have put together quite a Thanksgiving feast for you: there is turkey with gravy, stuffing, rolls, candied yams, and cranberry jello all cut into fine pieces so you can eat it easily. *Feeds Thanksgiving Feast.* Careful now, better sleep that big meal off!

[Aliar]

Yes, I think I was right, Ithildin is a fine name for you with your pretty flecking of stars on your breast feathers. Now that you've hatched it's obvious you are male. I've brought you some pumpkin pie. *Feeds Ithildin some pumpkin pie and spends some time gently ruffling his wing feathers* Until later, my pretty boy.

Good evening, Ithildin! I brought you a good dinner. *Feeds vole chunks and berries to Ithildin and gives him some live worms to hunt. Then spends some time stroking him and kisses him on the head* Goodnight, my beautiful Aegolius! I'll see you tomorrow.

[Aliar]

Good morning, Ithildin, I brought you some crickets and grasshoppers for you to practice hunting. *Watches Ithildin chase the leaping insects until he catches them all and then hand feeds him a mouse. Spends some time stroking and ends with a kiss on his head* I must go see to your sister now, my beautiful boy. I'll see you later

[Aliar]

Good morning, Ithildin, it's a bit of a speedy breakfast today as it is quite early and I must go to work, but hopefully I will be back later for a quick hunting lesson. *Feeds Ithildin some chunks of rabbit meat and some apple slices and then gently cleans off his face and breast feathers with a cloth dipped in warm water. Spends some time petting and ruffling his wing wing feathers* Goodbye. Have a good day, my beautiful Aegolius!

[Aliar]

Good afternoon, Ithildin. I brought you some crickets and meal worms to for you to practice hunting as I said I would try to do. *Watches in amusement as Ithildin hunts his lunch; when he is finished, gives him a kiss on the head* Well, done.What a ferocious hunter you are!Goodbye, sweet boy.

[I have no love]

Congratulations! Ithildin is now fully grown! From now on he can hunt for himself but I'm sure he would appreciate a treat from time to time!

[Aliar]

Well look at you, Ithildin! Aren't you handsome all grown up! *Feeds Ithildin some pieces of woodchuck meat then spends some time ruffling his wing feathers and kisses him on the head* Goodbye, my handsome boy. I'll see you later.

(Thank you very much, No Love, for my Aegolius! They are both so awesome!)

[Aliar]

Hello, pretty Ithildin! How are you doing? I brought you some treats *feeds mice and winter berries and spends some time snuggling* Have a good day, my Aegolius! I must go see your sister.
