Update on My Bad Birds

They have been real bad, and busy.

Started out with ( finding THREE eggs ) and

watched the number grow to five, then six,

and now seven.

EIGHT EGGS!!!

Here are the pics I took when we only had six eggs ...

listen to me ... ONLY six eggs ... oy.

Of course, the mystery and shock of all this

stems around the fact

that I thought we had two male birds.

Chingado is obviously male with his

vibrant blue/purple cere ...

I just assumed that Blue Boy was male, too,

because his/her cere was pure white ...

so pure that it has a hint of blue/grey to it.

By the way, even this picture below

doesn't do justice

to the vibrancy of Chingado's cere.

No brown ... no pink ... no tan ...

Blue Boy's cere is just white.

I guess that means FEMALE ...

well obviously it does

because we have

SEVEN eggs

that he/she guards with

his/her LIFE.

I just took this pic ...

think he/she is laying another egg ... or about to?

We'll see what the next few days have to offer.

I'm trying to figure out WHEN he/she laid the first one.

There were already three eggs when I discovered

Blue Boy wasn't a boy.

My best calculation is guessing the first egg to be

about ten days old ... especially if they lay

every other day ... which seems to be about right

judging by how he/she is spitting them out.

So we'll start looking for a baby in another ten days or so ...

let's hope he/she is through laying eggs.

I don't know HOW he/she is going to feed

all of them.

Anybody want an exclusive, special, parakeet 

from Mama Crow?

I'm going to start taking tentative orders ... 

and we'll all watch to see how this new adventure plays out.
