Well, my birds have surprised me again.
Darth Vader (WOE) became a widower last year, and I thought he had taken up with Cameo (Frillback). I KNOW I saw them billing not too long ago. Turns out that Darth Vader has actually paired up with Aspen (Fantail and now known to be the DAUGHTER of Castor and FanFan). They are proudly and diligently sitting on two eggs for the past three days or so now.
In another aviary, it appears that Silver (banded and presumed to be some type of Tumbler, but don't really know) has taken up with a big, beautiful, unbanded and unnamed white pigeon. They have one egg as of today and are hard at work adding to their nest.
Assuming these babies hatch, they should be some interesting looking little ones and hopefully will grow into lovely adults.
Aspen and Darth Vader on New Year's Day 2007. They definitely were not a pair then .. Aspen was hardly more than a baby and Darth was mated to Stinky.
Cameo who I thought was Darth's chosen:
Have to go look and see if I have pics of Silver and the white mate.
