Am hearing elsewhere there is an intruder here that has been aggressive toward Xavier and both Diamond and Xavier are chasing off. Checked the news site, but no info. Not a member of the FB group.

The chat people are talking about an intruder. Apparently, Diamond was all agitated and she sent X to cover the eggs. Right now, she's on the tower cam so it could be that she sent "whoever" packing!

Edit: she's back and is watchful.

Thanks, catwoman. My source got back to me earlier today and said it was Cilla who had been talking about the intruder in chat.

Their eggs are their children.
To us its just eggs - to them its their children, their future.
Xav is a male who is a loving Daddy.

There was a little excitement here yesterday. A female juvie invaded the nest, non-aggressively, apparently X was on the eggs. He left and I'm not sure what transpired later cause I reached a limit as far as how far I could go back in the comments. I take it the juvie wasn't interested in the eggs and she left without any drama.

well! X isnt much of a protector!

One person pointed out that the female usually deals with a female intruder and the male usually deals with a male intruder. In fact (you know this as well as I do), once the female girls in a nest get to bigger than the dad himself, he no longer feeds them unless necessary. :eggthumb:

This is the Orange FB page:

There are some good pics of the encounter.
