Basilina may start to chill out a bit as she matures maybe BudgieS90 you never know I have seen Izzy change so much lately. Maybe she'll always be a bit of a bossy hen but she has definitely calmed down the last few months.

I know its very early days but I've been fascinated so far! I'm seeing Izzy in a different light. She is very different from the playful budgie biting me! Watching her scraping her cuttlebone for calcium, crunching oyster shell and carefully picking out her veggies instead of just chucking everything over the floor and generally being destructive! I guess its nature and she knows what she needs at the moment. Very proud of my grown up little girl! Feel like David Attenborough in my back garden experiencing this!

It sounds like Izzy is going to be a great mum. Hope so, anyway, and that Rio doesn't just head off to the pub with a box of cigars.

That goes for both of them Rio does keep slipping outside to see his mate Frankie. Not sure whether he's saying 'Jeez she keeps going on and on!' or 'I can't wait to be a dad, will you come and babysit if we need you?' or as you say 'Fancy a quick millet top mate?!'

When is the first one due to hatch Gareth. It was laid on the 24th soooo.... errr my maths isn't great! Should hatch 18 days later. 31 days in January? divide by 2, apply pithagarous' (jeepers horrendous spelling!) rule - then I think it's 11th Feb. Yes I think and hope it should hatch on the 11th

Hey talking (again somewhat off topic) I know someone up here who is a great grandma and she's younger than me! My husbands nephew became a dad and granddad within weeks when he was 36!

I'm very excited for you Izzy and Rio. There was lots of chatting going on in that video. Was it Izzy who was popping in and out of the next box with Rio looking on? Are you able to post clips from the bird cam if you get some good footage? Roll on 11th Feb!

Thank you JennyB , yes I would love to know what they were talking about. They seem like a happy couple so hopefully not arguing over the set up of their new home! At the moment I haven't really got the camera in properly. They were a bit ahead of me and had already laid an egg before I had the camera set up. I try when they leave the inside flight to go outside. I've been shutting their hatch and trying to put it in but I'm a bit paranoid about disturbing things too much. I quickly got it mounted the best I could earlier but in my haste I haven't put the power lead in properly so had no picture. It is linked to my TV indoors but I haven't got the leads to connect it to the pc. If I can suss it out I will put some on here though.
