Normanly said the chicks are still “quite vulnerable” but when they are about three weeks old, they will be moved to bird pens.
And once they can fly and look after themselves, the RSPB plans to release them fairly close to where they came from.
Dr Caroline Finlay, Director of Conservation at Detection Dogs NI, said there were “birds who’ve been raised in captivity before, now nesting on Sliabh Beagh successfully, which is absolutely fantastic”.
“It’s not a common thing, but it’s great to see that this is possible.
“These chicks can go on and have their own nests and their own eggs and own babies eventually, so it’s a great story,” Finlay said.
