Well, at last we think that our birds are incubating.  Fantail has laid her eighth egg and has been glued to her nest for much of the day.  She has been fed by Fred fairly often - particularly when we put out mealworms!  Fluffy is not as dedicated, neither has she added to her clutch of five eggs.  Will any of them hatch?

A close up of Fantail's 8 eggs.

There has been no change in Fluffy's nest.

Fred brings a mealworm from the feeder and presents it to Fantail for her to eat.  

More food for Fantail  -  and a nice symmetrical clutch of eggs!
