The photo on this page was taken during the last week Cocoa and
Kwila were together. Kwila had been at the back-riding stage for a
while already, but was not afraid to leave the security of her
mother's back. Even in our first Kwila sightings outside the nestbox
she had exhibited a tendency to go off on her own to explore without
waiting for a nudge from Cocoa.
When last we saw Cocoa and Kwila together, Kwila had grown quite
adept at stealing food out of Cocoa's mouth and running off with it.
