I did catch a glimpse of two little fluff balls and at least one egg. Couldn't see whether or not there is a third hatch.

Dad is so excited, he came in again with even more food..lol!  She just sent him off with the food!

Alison: You will be so thrilled I know.  All your efforts to have the nestbox here replaced to give these two a chance and now we see the fruits of your labour and others who helped to make this happen.  I'm so happy for them, I can't tell you!

8:28 she just pulled out another half egg shell and she's eating it now!  She's off the eggs, shift change, looks like 2 for sure!!

I love it when they have names, it seems easier to keep track of them (except for S2 because she's been called that for so long already)

Since this site is so popular with our gang, it just seemed right to give them names ... even if they are only names here!  If anyone ever does find out they have names of their own, please do let us know!!!

. . .neither BRI and New Hampshire haven't provided a name, I'm will to go with Big Sumo for the male and Bree (a play on BRI) for the female - at least for the purposes of talking about these birds here ....

... what do you all think?

Sumo is a special juvie, since she is the first and only chick so far for these parents. Her parents are pretty special too, since they tried so hard for so long to breed. I like Big Sumo for Dad, and I like Bree for Mom - I think it really suits her.

Waiting hopefully for a hatch in the next few days.

Okay, male is band number B over S, sorry, can't call him B/S and neither BRI and New Hampshire haven't provided a name, I'm will to go with Big Sumo for the male and Bree (a play on BRI) for the female - at least for the purposes of talking about these birds here ....

... what do you all think?

I like it  ;D
