Feeding Lanky

Well after writing about Lanky on Wednesday I went out on section with Phil the bird keeper. I was lucky enough to feed Lanky.
First we had to cut up his fish. We filleted (cut the meat off) five medium sized fish and then cut that into small chunks - roughly about 5cm squares. That is his two meals for the day.
I had to throw the fish into Lanky's beak. He lunges forward as he catches it - and that is a pretty big beak to lunge at you. It made me jump a bit the first time.
He has a real routine - he has about the first third of his meal standing by the fence and for the rest he is swimming in the water.

Sometimes Lanky decides he doesn't like a piece of fish and drops it on the ground. Then you have to break the fish up even smaller with you hands. Other times he pretends he wants the fish then ducks his head out of the way - naughty Lanky!
