Of course, bad, unpredictable Twitter cropping, you should click to see the full photos....

But carrying on, "Come and get it, kiddies!" 2/

"Yay, I got it, mama!" 4/

"Mama said you have to share!" Timeless sibling quarrel...

Exasperated mama kite... /6

Finishing off this thread with a photo of a fledgling unsuccessfully trying to hunt. "Mama makes this look so easy!"
