Ned is three weeks old!

Ned is three weeks old today!! He is doing wonderfully - he is growing and has already reached an adult weight of proud 53 grams, and started growing in feathers. He is increasingly active, alert and goes have a walk in the nest box. I caught him today sitting in front of the nest hole and peaking outside - little boy is curious!

Ned is two weeks old!

Time for an update!!

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know my obsession to name the babies after movie characters. This time is no exception. I named this baby Ned. Yesterday I saw a movie, The normal heart, and it moved me so much. I know I am so late for the "the normal heart" party, because it was released last year, but ah well, better later than never!

One week old!

The baby is growing well and has turned one week old yesterday! Today I took him out and handle him a little bit. His eyes are still closed, but the down is getting thicker every day. What an adorable fella - I am in love!

Newest addition to the clutch

I was waiting for this baby for two days already. I would take the egg, put it close to my ear and listen the baby scratch the egg shell. Yesterday morning it started making sounds too, but it hatched only late this morning. What a precious little thing!!

Surprise eggs!

From January Didi was hormonal like crazy - she was shredding everything around like a mad lovebird. She was feisty and increasingly territorial. We did not want them to have a nest while it was really really cold outside, just in case we have an emergency and need to go to see the vet with them, or even worse, with the babies.
