Mama is done being mama. I’m glad I locked her and the chick in the shade garden with the volcanoes. There are Harris’s hawks nesting nearby so the three little girls are still in the shade garden and I locked mama out. She’s back to laying eggs and is consistently leaving the chick behind/chasing her away. I’m hoping the three little girls will form a bond so when they are big enough to come out of protective custody they will be able to withstand the bigs. In lockup they have access to food all the time and of course water, so I’m not feeding the wild pigeons.
