So return home last night and find Jack_Jack ( below in better days) drooping a wing and clearly unhappy.

Oh no, not another pneumonia case like last time ( with his mate Soentjie), But Jack_Jack is hopping round, eating well, no sign of blood.

Ask the SO, and he says he heard a birdie shriek at about 4pm, but didnt go in. hes afraid of Cha_Cha who sometimes stalks him lol.

So somebirdie had a go at Jack_Jack at about 4pm eh. which one?. Dont know, will have to keep him and his Soentjie ( who worships his shadow as it passes by) caged today till I monitor the situation.

Come home, all is well, Jack_jack hops out, wing much better, holding it correctly. Am looking at cage floor for signs of , well anything amiss, see HUGE bombs, obviously Soentjie. Hang on that can be a sign of....where is she..

....Overhead, giving me a good look at a very swollen vent... yes I think an egg could be in the offing.

Meanwhile my eye drifts over to Jack_Jack, not 2 minutes out of his cage, and he is attempting an inter species mating with Mrs BAM_BAM ( green thighed). She shrugs him off....

Hormone season is great fun in this house!

and the result of all this frenetic action, found in Soentjie/Jack_Jack's nest this morning.....

Soentjie egg_Oct13.jpg

Its BIG, but so is Soentjie. Now I have 5 days to wait till I can candle it and find out if its fertile. Do I have the patience? lol. I feel like going out to buy cigars and whiskey hehe. Soentjie popped out for morning feed today like it was nothing, but its common for them not to sit tight till there is more than one egg ( I'm told)
