Steller sea-eagle father banished to another zoo ahead of chick's birth

https://www.denverpost.com/2019/06/03/denver-zoo-steller-sea-eagle-hatched/

Quote: '"Normally both parents raise the chicks, but we found that our adults tended to bicker over who got to take care of the chick, which put the chick at risk," said Hollie Colahan, vice president of animal care at the Denver Zoo, in an email.'

(Isn't bickering normal?! Just ask any Decorah eagle.)
