All these losses sure are heartbreaking. Hugs to everyone.


Duff laid her second egg in the nest box, after I moved it back to the ground, and I replaced her first egg with a wooden one, since it was cold the night she laid the first egg. I swapped the wooden one back out with her original egg yesterday and she sat on both last night, and seems happy now. So I will either leave her on the ground and hope for the best, or move her and the entire nest box once she has a few days commitment.

Brick and Brewer spent the night outside. I’ll check them this evening and see if their crops are full. I will likely still bring them inside tonight since we will dip below freezing again. After that, they should be good to stay outside, I hope.

I know they all look pretty much the same, but I brought #92 Chance, Bonnie and Clyde’s baby inside for her legband adornment.
She’s already at 135 grams at 10 days old.

And Brick and Brewer, now 23 days old

And Duff on her nest

I need to get new pics of Java/Shadows baby. It’s a tiny thing!

He was a fave of mine

I just ran across the color mating chart. Thought some of you may find it useful

OMG! Yes they do, except for their bright alert eyes.
