Oh poop shoot! As the eaglets get stronger and more coordinated, they begin to paint the nest and crib rails white with slices, splashes, and stripes of poop. But sometimes parents – DNF in this case – get in the way! DN16 does its very best to shoot poop out of the nest, but hits DNF instead.
Wonderful moments like this inevitably lead to questions like “What is bird poop?” and “What do eagle Moms and Dads think about this?”. If you’d like to learn more about bird poop, follow this link: https://www.raptorresource.org/2022/04/11/oh-poop-shoot/. And while I don’t speak Eaglish, DNF’s response looks familiar to me – and I’m guessing to a lot of you as well! Ewwww…where did I put those wet wipes?
