Bird Cams Around the World

Maybe I'm going to be the lone voice here...

We need to give Durand and Spark a chance.

1) This baby was born just hours ago, and from everything I've ever read, they've got 24 hours of nutrition from egg yolk prior to hatching

2) They are both inexperienced parents. They just need the little one to open its mouth and beg, to maybe "kick in" those instincts. Spark is providing. Looks like Durand is trying to hatch another egg. She brought prey in the box earlier, so I think she knows she needs to feed it.

Let's give them some time to adjust to parenthood, before we start thinking of removing the eyas. Really, how will they ever learn if we take it away from them?

Honestly, I want them to be successful. I know we have certain expectations on what we think we should be seeing. If this doesn't go as we would like, unfortunately, it will be on cam, but what about all those other nests out there with new, inexperienced parents that we can't see into? They make it. We just need to be a little patient.

1/2 the battle is won... we have a hatch, who appears to be strong and has great instincts... As so many have already pointed out, it may be teaching them a thing or two this season!

Mick - I think you've won the caption contest for the day!

Yep, when that baby starts screaming with it's mouth open, she'll know it's time to stick something in it. We've been through quite a bit with Durand and won't give up on her, ever. She touches our hearts.


Oh Carly, that's hilarious.

I'm sorry if my post was disrespectful. I did not mean jump to conclusions. I know no one has given up. I just want them to have a chance.

I apologize if I offended anyone.

Durand sleeping on the eggs. I bet with all the recent developments she is so tuckered out!

There we go!!! She's got the idea!

She pulling nice small pieces, now just needs to move a little closer.

What a strong baby!

this is all so funny. no worries. they always figure it out. we have been this route before.

Oh my word, I just got to the cam. Has she gotten anything in it's mouth? She knows.

The little one keeps tumbling over! If it wast so cute it would be sad because Durand needs practice feeding it! Great to see that she is getting the mechanics of it down.
