Not a great day

Today I attended the funeral of a 48 year old work colleague, a distressing time. So nice to get home and spend some time with the birds. Very therapeutic cleaning cages, replacing seed and water etc. (I never would have believed this 3 months ago!)

My 'couple' are still busy incubating their 4 eggs - they stopped laying 2 days ago so I'm expecting news in about a fortnight (I think)

Not nice at any time but even more poignant at this time of year. We were in the same boat this time last year but it was a friend of nearly 50 years.

Penny, do you know about candling eggs? You could buy a candling torch and check with the eggs in the nest or carefully take them out and hold up to a light.

You should see veins after about 5 days of proper incubation.
