I know it is said that they don't have emotions like humans but I can't help but think that it must take away from there spirit and drive in some way. I feel bad for them. 

And I think of it as they know they had a successful nest...baby grew up and left just like it should.  Maybe a bit quicker than others, but this is the timing they know.  Any parent is a bit out of sorts when the kids leave-don't know quite what to do with themselves with a changed routine.

Oh phoo...here I go again... 

Let's just make sure the ark is seaworthy enough to cross the lake to Toronto!

In the overall picture of the building, which ledge is the nestbox on?

Thanks again to everyone for all you hard work!

What a fabulous report!  Thank you Tracy...and everyone at CPF for getting this together so quickly!

 

Ok, who cried when they saw the nest box!!! ME!! I'm a crier lately!

For sure-I tear up every time I see something new posted about Quest!   

And the intruding female hasn't been seen lately.

First hatch for Dorothy & E2!

Don't make me come down there!

would partenering w/ your brother be a disaster, genetically speaking?

When this question came up when Archer was with Mariah, the majority opinion was the worst case would be infertile eggs and any fertile eggs laid would very likely be fine.

I can't find the thread but didn't Annette (?) Post about babies hatching in Brussels? Is this the same nest site?

No-they posted a video of the Brussels nest on the Montreal blog-sort of what we have to look forward to in a couple of weeks...

Polly is alive and nesting!!!

Great news, thanks. Can someone translate some of the blog? I'm curious about details! Babel isn't the best translator. Is that her on the video? I always liked Polly even though she was a bit jealous!

I've never liked Babel.  I use google translate-does a fairly decent job.

I've also heard Bing translate is good.  

The most recent video I see is Brussels.

Excellent news!  I was half expecting to hear she was back with Roger & Spirit!

      

I don't know...I SWEAR I heard some giggling coming from that thing!

Did ya hear?  They found us an EXTRA brother!  He's not here yet, but soon!

Is wearing your lunch on your head sort of like wearing your heart on your sleeve? 

I blame the influence of Kate Middleton...
