Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[ballywing]

Ivy saying 'Hurry Up and Hatch Already'!! - Let's get this show on the Road!   - First Time Father Jitters...

[GCG]

Maybe asked Princess if she needs any "groceries".

Another brief visit from Ivy.  It looked like a bit of chit chat between the two of them, but Princess not interested in leaving.

Oh! Oh! bird back on ledge. Now gone again. What's with this?

[GCG]

Oops! Thanks Ballywing. While I was adding my post, I failed to see that you had already answered my question. Duh!

[ballywing]

Nope 

[GCG]

Not more than five minutes ago, I saw one bird on the ledge and one very puffed up bird on the eggs. I had to leave my computer and when I came back, the puffed up parent was alone with the eggs. Did I miss anything? 

[ballywing]

Ivy standing on the ledge looking in for a bit - maybe checking if anything's going on yet.....then he's gone again....Princess seems really glued to those eggs today!

Good afternoon Kinderchick...I am now officially a 'Hatchling'...such joy!  lol

[pmg]

Princess (I think) has been on duty most of the day and seems more restless than usual. Could be the cooler weather ? or could be the chicks are close to hatching. She's being a very patient mum today

It could just be me wanting something to happen but they do seem a bit more restless today. It takes them two or 3 tries to get comfy.

Throughout the day, I have seen lots of movement from the sitting parent. In addition, it appears at time they are "listening" and they look puffed up. With my luck, they will hatch after nightfall. I sincerely hope that we get a chance to sing, collectively, "Happy Birthday"!

Yes earlier on in the morning I noticed Princess/Ivy...doing the "no I'll sit...no maybe I"ll stand and nudge a few pebbles...nah maybe I'll sit anyways....I wasn't sure if this was an indication of anything...kinda glad its' got others wondering. 

[ballywing]

Got the 3 second 'stutter' going on so it's hard to tell if all that movement is just readjusting or fidgeting or talking to the eggs or what  - White chest says it might be Ivy on the eggs now? - so maybe he's just trying to fit all those eggs underneath him!

TPC can give a definitive answer. For me I can't see why not? I mean the human body is 85-95 % water and the moon affects the tides so why couldn't it affect us then why couldn't it affect the eggs? By the way welcome to the forum wingnut.
