Spartan.

I'm probably gonna get these out of order. Mom is a tad confused right now...maybe because the chirping egg is so loud? Don't know.

Dad brought food..I think she was hoping the baby would feed itself. She tried twice. She left, Dad came in and was alone with the baby..prepping the food, but she kicked him out. don't think the little one has eaten yet.

Dad

All appears calm right now..and baby is back under her.

Is the hatchling already walking around?
It was here - then there - -
Some claim birds forget year to year how to feed young.
I dunno.
Is this a new Mum??

Shep...I'm thinking this could be a new mom. She's not banded. As precious and always present that dad is, he needs to prep these birds. He's bringing them in whole and she doesn't know what to do with them.

Fingers crossed they get this figured out.
