aww. i was hoping for some motherly instincts from the father resulting in some babies!! darn.
although motherly instincts from the father does sound a bit off.....LOL
yeah i think he's just being protective but it was cute. he wouldn't leave the nest, or at least near it. i would try to sneak up and see if he was sitting, but he'd always hear me and come running out hissing.
Yeah, i know it sounds wierd but i went out to check on the egg count in the nest now, and he ran into the house (we've got a house and a pen) and went right to the eggs and started hissing at me with his neck low and stretched out. i just kept my distance and told him it was okay. he wasn't...
