The chick continues to grow and mature. It is still being fed by the mother, but is having a good go at the food itself, going through all the motions of anchoring the fish with a foot and tugging at the food with lots of sideways head movements. It still makes the begging noises when it's being fed, but is now making sounds like the adults. It is very aware of and interested in its environment and follows what Mum is doing very intently, absorbing all the information like water into a sponge.
