Posted March 1, 200619 yr I was awoken this morning by a wonderful sound Sweet tiny chirping. I have a darling little jellybean that looks so so so tiny!!!! will get a picture later for you, I only looked cause mum was out of the box, I'm a bit worried about her not feeding since it's been almost 1/2 and hour and it's still chirping. But she wasn't happy with me looking which is a good sign. I was right about the day but the 2nd of March, day 19 for this egg. YAY I told Marine he was a very clever boy, and he started to preen just as if he understood Edited March 1, 200619 yr by Nerwen
March 1, 200619 yr Author Here are some pictures, the baby only made a niose when i tryed to turn 'him' over I couldn't see the crop, I hope things are good, Mum was not going to let me pick him up in the least and sat right back over him and the eggs. Fingers crossed. With mum standing watch: Is that a crack?: I noticed the line in the egg after I took the pictures, I hope its a sign that baby two is comming but I don't like the look of the dark mark on the egg
March 1, 200619 yr YAY Nerwen!!!.... Comgrats, and it looks like she will take good care of him....i hope*!!! Hows Marine doing?...is he being a good dadio?..(Laughing out loud) Kirby
March 2, 200619 yr Oh wow! That seemed sooo quick. Okay I know it didn't for you What a gorgeous little baby! Have a glass of champagne to celebrate
March 2, 200619 yr Don't worry about that other post Nerwen I found this one. Well done..way to go. Has the crack developed more? Is that egg no 2 or 5? It maybe 2 as she maynot have started incubation until the second one was laid. That way you get the first two on the same day.
March 2, 200619 yr Whoooo!! I'm so happy for you! What a little cutie?? Have you named it yet or am i the only on to do that?
March 2, 200619 yr Author Thanks all, I was away until now, that is why i was hoping all would be okay, sicne i souldn't stay and watch I checked right away but even after waiting for 2 mins she was not moving an inch of the nest. I will poke her soon with the pen which she wanted to kill this morning so I can see. Yes it's the second egg In my bigger sided picture I can read the number 5 on the egg next to him. I expected to have these two egg hatch close together. umm now what else was asked No Lin it was not fast for me I was itching for this day since sunday. No name as yes yet. I've been trying to think of one but I find it hard to name a pink ball and I normally don't like human type names for animals. Odd I know. edit to add: I finally got a look, well a quick glimse , of the crop as she shifted begrudging sideways for me. There is food in the crop, i'm so glad she is still being a good mum, there isn't a sign on egg 2 that the crack has grown. and just becuase I feel like it here is a close up enjoy Edited March 2, 200619 yr by Nerwen
March 2, 200619 yr Author Baby two is here YAY and now I can't tell them apart The first one isn't so big that it's easy to tell. Pictures to come later since silly me forgot to take it with me for the morning check. I was thinking of calling the first one after the penguin from from toy story: Squeaker, becuase that is what he sounds like. Now I'm not sure if it was him I heard or the second one in the night now. Ohh How about I call him Squeaker and the second one Echo :(Laughing out loud): Of cuase these names/idea will changes about a million times before I settle with a name. Can't wait to see feathers. Don't meantion them, I'm trying not to think about it, I want to enjoy the pinkness while it lasts* (*doesn't really believe that is simply trying to)
March 3, 200619 yr Author I thought so Squeaker and Echo are going great, and Mum was not at all happy with me when i made her move, just to take some pictures :(Laughing out loud): Marine even got in the box at one stage to see just want I was up to. (if I didn't tell you he started going in the box a few days before the eggs hatched.) Pictures, I think Squeaker is the top one.:
March 3, 200619 yr Little tiny cute things... Did the second one hatch from the egg you were wondering about.. or another one?
March 3, 200619 yr Author Yes from the one I was wondering/worried about Edited March 3, 200619 yr by Nerwen
