SSTrig Beautiful Wing Exercises 👑💕 GLG Gives Her A Big Feeding! 💗 7.31.25

SSTrig is beginning to practice her wing exercises for longer periods of time - standing with her wings outstretched helps to build up her pectoral muscles needed for flight. She also is started to take baby jumps while flapping! This will continue to improve in the next month until she is able to run and flap her wings at the same time. GLG arrives back for a morning feeding. SSTrig is happy & excited to see Mum again. GLG has the goods and gives her a large mouthful of food at 07:24! Love to see these big food transfer to keep her weight up! GLG departs and SSTrig does more wing exercises before settling down to enjoy a spectacular sunset! Thank you for watching! 📌 What To Expect On Royalcam - a month by month description of what is happening on the camera, colony and chicks: https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native... 📌 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟏𝟎 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐚𝐦 (2024-2025) Nest site: Signal Station Trig.
