Posted April 26, 200619 yr So yesterday after work, Katie & I are doing our birdie chores, when Kate squeels out in delight. There is an egg in the aviary on the floor! I am pretty sure it was from Stumpy & Tweety's two timing husband Sylvester. They are always loving on each other lately. I checked over Stumpy and she apears to be the guilty one! I had a very serious chat with her and informed her that there are to be no more egg & no babies THIS year! I bet she didn't listen and there will be an egg there again tomorow! :
April 26, 200619 yr Oh dear. I had an experienced like that. I found an egg on the floor in the aviary and wasn't sure who it was, but had a suspicion that it was my Lemon girl. and sure enough, the next day while I was talking to my mum on the phone, there's Lemon sitting on the perch and letting one drop!! it broke of course, and I let out a little scream thing and shock my mom, and now Lemon is indoor with Hope.. another girl.. no more eggs from her. hehe... Good luck with your girl.
April 26, 200619 yr I found a spare egg in the aviary today and put it under Spook. It was still warm and I think it was Bonnie's as she was ready but hadn't got her nesting box yet. Could be a good egg.
April 26, 200619 yr (Laughing out loud).. I like how you use the term 'spare' egg... it's kinda cute.. hehe Poor Bonnie, will she get a box soon??
April 26, 200619 yr LOL.. I like how you use the term 'spare' egg... it's kinda cute.. hehe Poor Bonnie, will she get a box soon?? Guess so. There are spares. She's too busy kissin an a cuddlin with Clyde. But now that I have leak proofed the roof she may not be as fussy about her nest.
April 27, 200619 yr I hope she gets into a nest box. more babies for us to look at. Dad (Clyde) is househunting as we speak. Also after his moult his colours have come through more vibrant. Often called a cobalt male (he throws violet babies) he is now a vibrant sky violet. Sky violets can be mistaken for cobalts. Bonnie is cobalt but he is more so. I would say he is a true sky violet.
April 27, 200619 yr We'll it will be interesting to see if she laid another one today. I hope not, (Laughing out loud) Apr 29 2006, 01:55 No egg yesterday, but there was 1 & 1/2 on the floor this morning when I opened them up! tut tut, i knew she wouldnt listen to me! May 16 2006, 04:02 Well she hadn't laid an egg for over 1 week, but she has that buldge again! so I gave up, I pulled her and sylvester! they are now in a breeding cage as of yesterday. He seems very excited and keeps hopping on & off the box, she keeps going in & out not knowing what it is! Popeye & Olive must not have liked them getting all the attention, they proceeded to "make some babies" too. ugggg My sister wants these babies so I wont be keeping them all. I will keep you updated :-)
