So on Day 40, Bella hops out of the nestbox onto the ledge not with a great deal of grace but nice and solid. She spends a few hours nappin on the cool, clean (have ya seen that nestbox 🤢) and then like her predecessors she wanders through one of the cutouts in the louvres and disappears. We have had other chicks that we don't see again for a week or 10 days when they fly back into the nestbox. This one, almost 24 hours later she hops back onto the nestbox and resumes her favourite perch and waits for mom or dad to arrive with a snack! If she can continue along this kind of trajectory then she could do well (🤞🏻 knock on wood).
