Mmmmmm Guess What

You will have noticed that I am unusally excited about something, weeelll  we are having babies - baby birds that is.

Last year the OH built and installed the latest model in bird nesting boxes in the two palm trees in the back yard.  We had a fair amount of birds inspect them, but until this year none of them took up residence.  We now have a pair of Pale Headed Rosellas in one box, and they have two eggs.  Yeeeee Haaaar  we are gunna be grandparents.

Will keep you posted.

Bet you thought we had found a black koala master bowl?

Or maybe you're having triplets not twins?

Oh Dear - that doesn't sound good Wilma.     😞   Are you able to tell at all if the new eggs are the same size & colour??  Reason I ask is that Cuckoos will destroy eggs, lay their own and then FFFF off to leave the unlucky parents to raise interlopers. I hope that's not the case with yours and that you will soon have Grandchicks 🙂

We had triplets - 2 years in a row.  Kookaburras !!!

Guess what?  We are Grandparrots.

At long last our baby parrot/s have arrived.  Don't know how many, but at least one, I can hear noises coming from the nest box.

Small dog alerted me to the fact that something had happened, she sits under the tree, looking up quite intently, and having a little bark when she hears noises.

OH saw one of the parents in the box yesterday, appeared to be head down and tail up, like it was feeding something.

I just wish I had a 'spy camera" in the nest so I could see what is happening without disturbing the contents.

Will keep you informed.

Wheeee   Haaar, we are Grandparrots.

Wilma.
