The adult (usually the female) osprey tears off morsels of fish and delicately gives them to the chicks. Enjoy watching these osprey parents as they care for their newly hatched chicks.

The male parent typically hunts for fish and brings them back to the nest. He often eats the highly nutritious head of the fish before delivering the rest to the nest, which gives him the energy to continue hunting.
