RyannsGreys Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I would like to announce that our pair has laid their 1st egg this morning! I am VERY excited... These beautiful greys have been in my care 3 weeks friday. I have fed them well and cooed at them in amazement. We purchased a bird house camera w/ audio that goes into the TV in my bedroom! The live feed of this couple is spectacular! They do the craziest things. Clearly they are a well bonded pair and care a great deal for each other! The camera is mounted to the ceiling and NOT the nest box as I was afraid they would chew it up... Therefore, I cannot see what goes on inside the box... So, the female has been in the box all day... I was worried and decided to lift the lid... AND guess what I saw!! She was sitting on her egg!!! I almost had a heart attack. I had previously lost all hope on a clutch before next spring... She has proven me wrong!! I WILL keep you all updated if your interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Wow Congrats, fingers crossed that the egg & any subsequent eggs are fertile It's a shame the camera dosent cover inside the nestbox for you to follow the parents & eggs progress. Try not to disturb mum & dad unless you really have to, as much as it's tempting.Be sure to keep us updated.<br><br>Post edited by: lovemyGreys, at: 2008/09/30 23:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
