There are three babies!
At 7:40 pm. I went out in to the yard to pull weeds. After seeing the human Kay, and her telling me it is only about 15 days before the eggs hatch, I thought I best take a look in the nest. I reached up to pull the branch down so I could look in AND UP POPPED three yellow mouths....... NO SOUND....... Which after just killing a five + foot snake two nights before....... I thought SNAKE!!!! There went my heart again and ya know at fifty years of age I can not afford to do that to many more times!!!
Back to the birds:
Looks kind of like some sort of flower in there! (When you realize it is not a snake)
There were four eggs and one has not hatched yet, maybe tomorrow?
I lay this one on top to get his picture BUT... Apparently they LAY DOWN if they do not know you. Also at this age no sounds.... This one must have hatched first as he has fuzz and the small one has none! Maybe one hatches each day? I should have watched them better.
Once again they are waiting on the room service. I will go get crickets for Lady K tomorrow. She is going to need them, meal worms too maybe...
OH, I forgot to tell you, I have named the mom Lady K after my friend Kay. By the way Kay, You are welcome to come out and see them in real life!!! I will be working in the yard all day and would love to see you!!
Blurry but .... I will get more tomorrow... As of Monday the 26th of May they were just eggs. I THINK.... I looked on Wed. but can not remember, the age thing.
So, I am going to go with they were born on May 29th... That gives that fourth egg a day to hatch. I am so glad that snake did not get any of the eggs..
