The chicks are moving all over the nest. The one on the left had had its fill and went over to the edge of the nest. Big Hook immediately stopped feeding the other two, and went over to it to encourage it away from danger. Of course, the parents can't pick the chicks up in either their beaks or their talons, so the only thing they can do is put their bodies between the chick and potential peril in an attempt to protect them.
