"Well geez, if you won't even look at me, I'm outta here!" says Dot.ca. 

 

Such cute little fuzzballs!  Thanks, Alison.

Precious!

Looks like #2 has arrived.  Thanks, Alison! 

YAY for Diamond and Xavier!

Morning visit by DC:

I know DC is unmistakable and our cameras are very good, but it's always good to see the band. Thanks, Alison.

Hi Dixie!   

Yo, Ralphie boy! 

3 somethings!

Musketeers

Thanks for all of your posts, Alison. Beauty is looking quite trim, I see.

She sure is lovely.  And I see that her silver band is still hanging in there. 

Spectacular is the right word for it!

Excellent, although I missed the whoopee cushion (being polite) noise at the end. 

Shades of good dads Dot.ca and Kaver.

Good boy, or odd chap?

Got back from Brisbane late Tuesday and just catching up with our pair.   I’ve noticed that Xavier has stopped bringing in much food and is keen to help out with the incubation (something previous males were not that keen to do usually, especially with three eggs).  He even arrived at one time having clearly just made a kill, with blood on his feet.  That seems a bit cheeky, or is he stashing the prey for Diamond (see below)?

And he’s hanging about waiting for her to move so he can take over (at least I assume that’s what he’s up to….)….often he’s reluctant to move when she returns from her excursion.    He seems very comfortable and is usually not having problems settling over the three eggs and on one occasion he stayed almost motionless incubating for four hours while Diamond was off gallivanting about, presumably hunting for herself.

Xavier even made the same mistake as Dot.ca. He tried to feed the eggs (see attached photo).
