i learned they do that to stimulate her to feed them. they nearly poke out each other's eyes when they really get going!

@kms10s Thank you for sharing that...it must've been dinner time across the whole rookery because all the kids were poking at their mothers, grabbing moms by the beak and pulling them all over the nest...quite a raucous display!

yes, I've been in a similar rookery and it gets crazy loud! they make sure Mom doesn't forget to feed them. since she has to spit up the food she's eaten, it's kinda gross, but that's nature sometimes :)
