Coco and Charlie are proud to announce the arrival of their newest offspring, hatched on July 21!! The baby is doing great and the parents are thrilled! They had two eggs but only one of them hatched. This is the first time that Coco has set on an egg "to term" that it has not hatched. But she has never shared her living quarters before with a hoard of teenagers! My daughter decided it would be fun to turn our walk out basement into an apartment and she needed a roommate so invited a girl friend to move in with her. There has been a steady stream of company to visit Coco and Charlie ever since, and I was not sure how they would handle the disruption in their nesting routine. But they took it in stride, and seemed to enjoy the company, who were instructed to be very quiet and tiptoe through the room where the birds live! Yeah, right... you know teenagers! I will post a picture when the baby moves from nest box to incubator. So far, I have been reluctant to take the baby because Coco and Charlie are doing such a great job, but I probably will this next week! This picture is of 10 day old baby taken last August. The new baby is just two days older than this now.
