Okay, I am well and truly awake and outta bed now! As for what time it is here, it's just gone 8:26am as I am posting this. It's so amazing that so many folks are here watching from all around the world (Missouri! Texas! Washington! Wow!) I hope that this little chap doesn't need me to stay awake late tonight because I don't think I'll be much use with the tiny amounts of sleep I got. But we shall see. The things I do for birdies!I feel so lucky to have gotten this amazing privelage, I'm excited to perhaps finally know what is inside! I am still guessing native wood duck
I'll be sure to update if there is any change what-so-ever, at the moment it is just the same little cracked dimple shape as it was at 4:30am. It is rocking occasionally and sometimes answering me with very quiet little peeping sounds!I'm sure if it is peeping it is not a snake or a lizard, so that has to be good news! I have the temperature sitting around 37.0-37.3'c (98.6-99.14'f )and the humidity at 65%. I opened the ventilation up a good deal more because the humidity was getting higher- is it possible to have too much ventilation at this stage? Or not really providing that the temperature and humidity are okay?
I can take a close up photograph in a little bit, and I will update as soon as there is any change. I am watching like a hawk still, it's going to be a long day I'm sure!At the moment though my parrot is begging for attention; I don't think he will like if a new baby hatches and he is no longer the center of all attention hehehe!
Watching from Washington State! And March 24th is my birthday, so I think it's a very good day for this little birdie to hatch. Come on, little buddy! You can do it!
