for the last few weeks the mother and
father have taken it in turn to feed
their offspring
but its growing appetite will soon force
both parents to go away fishing at the
same time
now it’s time to encourage the month-old
chicks to stand on their own two feet
hey
sometimes it takes a well-timed kick
now both parents can head off to see to
go fishing
for the first time the chicks will have
to face the elements without a parent to
protect them
other adults certainly won’t look after
them
[Laughter]
so lone chicks gather together for
comfort
ah
[Music]
as the temperature drops to -25
the chicks instinctively create their
own mini huddle just as their fathers do
[Music]
this is no time for a youngster to be
if they’re lucky some chicks may still
have the protection of a parent taking a
break from fishing
but for the majority the huddle is their
only shelter
[Applause]
