Oh my, just saw her fussing with it a couple of minutes ago. It's so perfect. Hope the other two hatch soon. :loveheart2:

10/07 6.19 am Mom & Dad & FIRST CHICK . :flirty:

Breakfast for Mom

6.20 temp 9.9 deg C

6.40 temp 10,9 deg C

I think this is the first stinging chicks for this pair.

They are very clumsy, they do not know what to do with the chick.

Thanks for the pics and videos! And thanks for clarifying, Loza - I was wondering if Mom knew what she was doing! I've only seen the chick on it's back so far... (but it's got a lot of pep! Lots of kicking!) hopefully, it can right itself during one of Mom's skootches!
(They are so funny to watch! :teehee:

I hope they figure this out realllll soon! :flirty:

approx. 8:00am (Aussie time)
I think the chick is upright, but still under Mom so haven't had a good look. Has anyone noticed Mom poking the chick when she takes a look? Kinda like she's checking on it?
(Making me a little nervous; is this normal?)

Added - some kind of bee or yellowjacket has been flying around the nest; don't think Mom likes it!

Just be thankful she isn't tossing it up in the air with her beak or dragging it all over the nest like a couple of new moms have done. They usually catch on pretty fast, thankfully!

Thanks for the captures, videos & comments everybody! :loveshow:

So precious! :flirty:

Bonbon, the pecking you saw could be that the baby has bugs on it & Diamond is just picking the bugs off it. It looks like she's being pretty gentle. :leafthumbsup:
