Redhawk Caldera Just a harmless prank...

Up until this point the babies were mostly immobile. It was a turning point for them all - the eyes opening, ears unfurling, general maturation of their bodies. They'd learn all about their own mobility in the next few weeks. This seemed like the first major lesson. Towhee had been bowled over, but she righted herself and caught her breath, and Titmouse was unprepared for her retaliation.

While her aim wasn't so great - nor her strength - she did manage to catch him by surprise, and that in turn led to Titmouse falling over. He was losing balance because of his own ineptitude rather than any influence from Towhee, but down he went all the same. He wriggled and got back up in time to awkwardly grapple for his sister with his paws, which... Didn't work out as planned. Titmouse hadn't considered his own balance when he made his own dash and grab attempt. He ended up falling flat on his chest, face-down, while his sister was unscathed.
