Atlantis' 1st (ever) egg hatched this morning while I was out in the loft feeding and visiting!! Hope to see the 2nd one tomorrow. She seems to be a good mom as she's been sitting almost 24/7 and she's already feeding the little one. Dad (Calypso) gives her about a 15 min. break 2x/day - other than that, HE is out cavorting with all the other girls while SHE is hard at work at home with the kids!!!
1 of the babies will be Zephyr (formerly "Equinox" as today is the first day of Spring...but I got overruled).
And Polaris (Luna's mom & a Roller) and that handsome Capt. Jack (Roller x Oriental Frill) have built their nest and he's busy presenting her with tobacco stalks & chasing everyone else away - - - including Birdzilla - - - YOU GO, CAPT> JACK!!
Great names! I had a baby born on the Equinox, and well, his name is...."Quinn" Picture in my albumn. Your names are much more original, and very adorable!
Actually - we've used the "pigeon pendulum" approach on every one of our birds. Started this as a a bit of a joke and certainly with a whole lot of disbelief - - - but it's been right on every one of our birds ... 3 dogs, 3 cats, & 2 humans, too .... <shrugging shoulders>
Thanks! I guess it may be old hat to the more experienced folks, but we're just having a BALL watching them develop!!! WHAT an amazing process ... and in such a short period of time!! It so hard to believe that an egg can turn into THIS in only 3 weeks .....
Oh, he's getting so pretty. Think he's gonna be a beautiful bird. Nice pic.
