Contextual MeaningOriental honey buzzards are migratory birds of prey. For a young raptor, gaining ample fat reserves is absolutely critical to fuel the immense energy required for long-distance migration.Therefore, the sentence serves as a playful maxim: Just as a Confucian gentleman must carry himself with weight and dignity to have authority, Takumi the young honey buzzard must get nice and plump, or else he won't have the strength to take flight and migrate.

(The statistics, 7/10: 11 meals, 7/9: 8, 7/8: 10, 7/7: 9, 7/6 (no picture), 7/5: 8 meals.)
And they're talking about a typhoon that might pass through. Actually, it's 7/11, 1:00am at the nest, and it's raining. Hope all goes well.

It takes a lot of them to fill a crop like this. But Dad feeds as well, and they also eat worms, lizards, frogs, and young birds… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fe080dc4fba01e372d1e313aa0804defe75a7b48f47abbf263c5dd751e7b2577.png
