Stormin comes in to meet his TWO babies this morning!!

YAY!

While I still wish we were watching Rhea Mae and Tiago, I am happy it's their son taking over.

[Kris G.]

I’m so happy for Stormin..he deserved this! 

[carly]

He's on the kids now and won't leave..lol!  He's brought food twice already for her to feed and he snuck back in again to cover the kids when she took out the leftovers and she's back but he's not moving.

10 minutes later and the stand off continues..he's not leaving his babies

[carly]

And she moves in..will she poke him     And then came refreshed and only one..not sure if she won or gave up and left.  Can't tell from this angle who is on now.  Wish we had a live cam

There was a third hatch for Stormin and Chaos late yesterday - I waited until this morning to confirm as it's difficult to see anything on this cam.

7:50 am. Looks like there's a feeding going on. Because they're tucked back mostly out of sight of the camera, I could only see two tiny heads.

I know, this cam makes me crazy.  I got a few shots with three in there yesterday but since then I see two or a pile of fluff that is too big for two.  Stormin brought in extra food for his shift to feed the babies himself a few minutes ago but the kids are stuffed as Chaos just finished feeding them.  One little one did take a bite though    Two or three, I'm just happy to see him with offspring after all these years!  His joy is quite obvious and he's an awesome provider, these kids won't go hungry that's for sure!

Chaos letting Stormin feed the kids.  Finally you can see 3 clearly

Awww..

Looks like we lost one of the two eggs today.  I saw D'arcy eating one earlier but the lighting made it so hard to tell if I was seeing what I thought I saw.  I only saw one egg after she took a break later.  Given her mother never has more than 1 or 2 successful hatches I am actually not surprised as fertility issues are often passed on.

That’s too bad but they did get a late start.  Hopefully, they have 1 healthy baby and better success next year.  No signs of our Aria lately?

[carly]

No sign of her at all Kris.  I miss her dearly.  I hope she's somewhere enjoying her summer in peace.
