Canada Square Kids Getting Ready
June 30, 2015 - Toronto - Canada Square Building - Yonge and Eglinton
Tracy Simpson Reports:
I opened the Canada Square site today with Omega and Typhoon bouncing away on the ledge with Haven perched on the parapet above watching closely. Malik was on the Rio Can building and was on a mission to bring in breakfast. He was continuously lining up birds in the neighborhood but was unsuccessful in catching a meal until at 10am he picked up a sparrow and brought it in. Haven was off like a shot and barked at him to drop it on the roost perch and hand it over!! He did as he was told and she took it right over to the kids. Omega grabbed it and took it all for herself not sharing a tidbit with Typhoon who stood there and screamed wondering what just happened and where did Mommy go. Haven had unceremoniously thrown the food onto the ledge and gone back up to her parapet perch. She knows. She knows that Omega is ready and she is prepared to deal with her daughters first flight. After the meal the family settled down for an hour to rest and the rains began to move in. Omega was thrilled with the water that was blowing into the ledge onto her and put on quite a show that Typhoon was enjoying thoroughly with his head upside down. Malik began hunting again shortly after 11am and continued up until Marion arrived to take over the watch. He made one spectacular stoop and came up with a pigeon that he took around to the east side of Canada Square and did not share with the family. This was for him! Haven is quite a demanding female and runs a very tight ship. All food caught must be given over to her to dispense immediately or face her wrath. Unless you stash it out of her sight and eat it yourself. Malik has learned this trick and he does it well. I will look forward to seeing the family again tomorrow morning and hopefully see some great flights.
