University of Toledo - Belle (Beauty's sister!) and Allen

[Kris G.]

Still no word on Belle 

But Allen and Liadan now have four eggs.  Got this pic from Toledo's Facebook post.

It took her quite a while to "get it".  She would lay on the other side of the box, after laying the first egg, and stared at it..must be young.

That was an odd look she was giving that little egg.  Kinda like 'what the heck is that?!'

I know but now it looks like she's got it..someone on the eggs now but don't know who.  Hope things go well here.

Maybe Allen gave her the lowdown on what needs to happen.  It's good there is one experienced parent there.  I'm sure it's better if it's the mom, but I'll bet the dad can teach her some things.

WOW!!  Allen and Liadan have FIVE eggs this morning!

Whoa! That's a lot for an inexperienced mom to handle.

That's amazing for a 1st time mom!!!  Good luck girl!!

First hatch at Toledo, and Liadan's obvious inexperience is really scary to watch!

Instincts gone awry!

Thanks to Allan's guidance, Liadan seems to be getting the idea of proper mothering.  They now have two hatched and a third egg with pip.  Fingers crossed

Just saw a feeding and trying to do a count, I think I see 4 heads and an egg!

[DebInTexas]

Wow!  Sounds like all five may hatch.  Allan and Liadan are gonna be busy!

Here's new mom Liadan feeding four gorgeous babies.  Looks like she and Allen have done a great job raising the wee ones so far.
