[Julie Birb]

See we want the same things....all I want to do is squeeze them too......

Yes. You get it. You see the cuteness and are overwhelmed by it.

While our desire squeeze them is similar, it appears are motivation is not.

I'd like to see you try to squeeze her right now!

I just don't understand you, Ralphie. You're an odd burd. Just behold the sweetness of the beloved dux and allow your heart to soften as you realize their many wonders.

Heehee. Yes. As hormonal as she is she'd bite one of his digits off.

Number 3 made it out this morning. . this was one of the two I gave her from the incubator

I got to see it cause she took the other two out to eat. I also checked all the other eggs and there is one more unzipping. . but the rest have expired. All of them internally pipped but no external. It appears that if I want any of Jane s babies I will have to incubate them knowing I will have to assist.

Looks like a super short bill. That may be why they have so much trouble.

Ravyn has told me before it's more about the short neck. . since Jane is more typey and has short necked babies it's hard for them to reach the shell to pip.

Precious tiny being.

I have extra digits. At my age dropping a few digits might be a blessing.
