Second Lesson in self feeding
13:53 Bruce is back with the deheaded flatfish.... Tsee (I think!) takes it and tries to work on it, tough stuff for a beginner. Then Toketee gently takes it from Tsee and tries. Everyone watches!
13:55 Tsee tries several times to reach in and retake the fish, but Toketee angles it away from him and keeps the fish. LOVE how both parents are on the same page, letting this happen!
13:58 Tsee finally gets hold of the fish and takes it back... Toketee watches from a respectful distance.... then gets a case of the sneezes!
14:00 Toketee takes a nice stick over to Tsee to trade for the fish.... no dice. So Toketee just reaches under and pulls the fish away.... Tsee watches.
14:03 Naha alerts sharply and flies off... the kids both pancake, Toketee on top of the fish. Bruce watches after Naha (we can hear her in the distance), then she lands back on the cam post.
