@breyernakotalover I assume you meant 13:50, but yes, the other baby flew off for good. Each egg was layed roughly 1 - 1.5 days apart. Each baby hatched roughly 1 - 1.5 days apart. Likewise, the first baby flew away 1 - 1.5 days before the second. The mom layed an egg as soon as the first baby flew off.

It came back at around 14:45 for one last rest (and to torment its younger sibling) before leaving for good. Shortly after the second was gone, mom layed the second.
