Siblicide soon? Or best pals. Ye can not foretell it. . In ospreys the issue depends closely onthe fish supply. If you follow the osprey webcams, the one at Machynnleth, the Dyfi osprey project, has had the best fish supplies and the chicks are raised without much violence. Elsewhere it is noot alays the case. Perhaps, we can empathise Humans cn be fairly savage too in hungry times or when the fisherbird meets a bad fate like Odin at Garten.

Does he know he is caged or free which side of the gate is he? Vague air of shoebillish contentment however...

. Poetic solitude?I wandered lonely as a cloud...?
Oh no, human. Shoebill is on other shoebillish business, perhaps invlving romaance,territory or breakfast! We'll never adapt our eyes to view the world 100% objectively.
