2015.4 - First lessons in colt education - Dodging dangers

Arrow, the colt hatched on June 6, 2015, is encouraged to be vigilant at all times, to stay close to her protective parents, to "flee and hide" when both parents go off to confront a threat, and to watch studiously when the parents make counter-threat displays.

This is part 4 of Millie and Roy's 2015 nesting chronicle.
