DOC rangers Colin & Julia came to the nest to perform their weekly weight check on Pippa. Colin grabs her bill and secures her as Pippa put up a bit of a struggle not wanting to be stuffed in the basket. They quickly weigh and release her as she clacks back at Colin with sass! After they leave, Pippa shakes out her feathers & is glad that is over with for another week!! Thank you for watching!
