This is my pair

I've heard of that too. They're great sitters but mine isn't interested at all. She has 10 eggs in her little nest now but just doesn't feel like sitting on them her mate is always pushing the eggs in a nice neat pile but she just isn't ready yet I suppose . And you're right it's very...
