Love Bird Hatched 2 Quail

[GeneP]

My son has a Love Bird that layed a couple of infertile eggs, then went broody. I gave him a couple of fertile quail eggs to place under her. She started sitting on the quail eggs late April 4, and they hatched early April 23 (18 days). When the chicks get cold and call out, she runs to them and tucks them under her wings. We will see how this works out.

The original post didn't come through properly. I think I had the picture too large.

Update - Unfortunately, the water container did not have enough marbles in it and one drowned. The other one is doing well. Mom is offering it seeds to eat.
