Cadence, 91/BA

[carly]

Yes she made a big scrape there where she is standing, I saw her working on it the last few nights...she kept expanding it 

[carly]

5.30 am and no one in igloo, still 2 eggs.

6.06 am and dad arrives and is into the igloo to settle on eggs.

6.09 am and Cadence just landed on the railing.  She seems to have a lot to say as well  

6.15 am and she goes down to the igloo and moves in.  And dad is out!  Have to power down and ready for work now...hopefully an egg today, maybe ? 

[carly]

7.43 am and at work now.  Cady sleeping in the igloo by eggs.

7:54 am

Hey! It's hard work laying your very first egg! 

[carly]

8.50 am and she's gone.

[carly]

9.11 and dad flies in and runs into the igloo looking behind him.  Cadence is on his tail and also runs into the igloo...conversation going on ...and he is run out..      I saw that coming and out she goes now, demanding breakfast maybe?  Sheesh..

[patsy6]

I saw that too!  I looked like a pretty loud argument. Cadence was probably yelling "Don't you dare sit on those eggs! Go out and get me some breakfast."

[Donna]

Man, she came barreling in!! LOL

[carly]

She sure did!  In theory, if he didn't have those eggs from before - he would be attending to her every whim and she wouldn't have to beg for food or attention.  So you can't blame her for being aggressive, she needs to be fed regularly now that she's starting to produce eggs - it's going to take all her energy and she needs fuel!

  YUP!! He's doing what he is suppose to and so is she!!

[carly]

uh oh Trouble!!  Cadence just came in and fell off the platform, ran into the nest box and then back out and jumped up on the second level..and she's into the igloo yelling...!!!

And back out again...something is going on!

[carly]

And in and out again and back up onto platform and now male is in yelling, inside igloo...what the heck is going on!

And he's going to eggs....someone flew by the ledge fast!

[carly]

11.57 am - Dad on eggs, vocalizing a bit...

12.00 pm - no one else in sight.  That piece of wood holding up the igloo is dangerous, she wiped right out on it when she came in ..she was going so fast, it scared the heck out of me.  It's getting more warped as time goes on...imagine a baby falling off there.

12.27 pm and he is vocalizing and looking around...wish she'd come back so we'd know she is okay.    He's still vocalizing now on and off.

I've been watching for about a 1/2 hr. Male in the nest. No sign of Cadence.
