In my communications about this with Cilla over the years, she has let me know that she has been hoping to be granted a banding certificate or licence. But she has not been granted one to date. It sounds to be somewhat of a political issue, for some reason. :-\

Thank you for the information Kinderchick, but I’m thinking your communication with Cilla must have been quite some time ago. I recall reading that she has her banding licence.
Perhaps change will eventually come to allow banding here.

You’re welcome gemcitygemini. I really like the ledge cam that allows us to see the birds as they come and go - besides being a very pretty view. :)
GCG:
Thanks burdi for sharing, both the info and the link.

Sorry I left out some important points from my post above at 04:38.
I do know that the feather could have been stuck to the egg with something other than leakage, and that is why I said “I’d prefer that my thoughts were wrong as whatever dampness allowed the feather to adhere could have come from various sources.” However I didn’t elaborate, and definitely failed to mention that Diamond could have been clumsy with the egg because she was able to detect it was damaged (possibly due to being lightweight). Actually, that was my immediate thought when reading the updates I mentioned from Cilla, so thank you for expanding on that TPC. :)
I do not know whether or not this is the first clutch for Diamond or Bula, and neither does the CSU site - since both are unbanded. This makes it very difficult to identity Beau, Bula, Swift, and Diamond - in my opinion at least. In fact, I’m still not totally convinced of who’s really who on this particular site. It’s also unfortunate the offspring from CSU do not have bands either.
