OMG that is what I thought too. And then I said to myself oh no!

Right now someone is carrying on and I can't see who but I think it could be one of the kids. If it's Spark or Durand they sound like they have a cold.

That is Durand or Spark but I can't tell who it is. ALl three kids are in the box. Mom or Dad is very very upset about something. Too dark to see what is going on.

Well maybe that is only two kids in the box! I am confused for sure.

So mean!!! All 3 kids were snoozing in the box..parent lands on the ledge and calls...wakes them all up!!! They get all excited, hoping for a feed...but nope...

Parent still on the ledge...I guess the kids are still in the box...no bedtime snack tonight!!!

I got a late start today...I'm assuming they already ate...I hope..

It looks like all 3 are in the box..

The culprit that messed up the lens yesterday was Dart...

2 in the box and 1 explorer..

I haven't seen a feed yet this morning. They are all so cute! I wonder why the chick in the box (dart?) keeps opening his mouth like he is gagging on something? Have to be out for a few hours and will check in later.

I got a really late start, so I don't know if there was a feed..if Dart (?) is opening and closing his mouth (as if gagging) it could be a "crop drop"...moving food from the crop to the stomach. If that is what he was doing, then they had a feed.. Was beak slightly pointed up when he was doing this?

Anyway, I think this is Hoshi...but, not 100% sure..

OH MY...the unhatched egg exploded at 12:50...I'll have to see if I can isolate that vid..

This is the wrong, test footage...I accidentally deleted the original footage instead...I am so mad!!! what was GOING to be included in the footage, was one of the adults landing, going to the box and examining the exploded egg...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
