egg fever


Just wanted to share some photos of my birds. They are being such good parents -taking turns sitting on their "eggs." While Isabella sits on the nest, Munchkin is on top of the cage looking out for her : )

Funny aside:
I think egg fever is contagious! I kept finding my paired male doves sitting on invisible eggs after Isabella laid hers. They wanted their own egg so badly. So I gave them an extra fake to sit on. Turns out they're very good parents too! Even Professor Plum has quieted down into "daddyhood" which really surprised me. He hardly ever lets Oliver take a turn sitting. There's a photo to prove it!

How funny, but glad they like sitting on fake eggs, gives them some time to rest..
The pics are just great, thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Aww, one of your fantails looks just like my Annabelle! I love the way fantails look when they're sitting on their eggs.
