Today, fight at Top Flat !
While TF is dozing on one of his multiple nests, TFT is taking the opportunity to take over our Prince's nest ! Alerted by gardening noises, TF wakes up and can't believe his eyes... TFT has stolen his nest ! After regaining his senses, TF goes to his nest to kick out the intruder... But TFT is not a chick to be impressed (he's his mother's son BOK ! 😅) ... ensues a pretty impressive fight between the two chicks! TF ends up recovering the nest that he had abandoned recently, all the while grumbling! TFT returns to his nest complaining about his unhospitable neighbor! To celebrate his victory, TF makes a beautiful skycall which certainly enrages his little neighbor! 😅
