Momma Little Wattle Bird let me get this photo of her licking aphids from the rosebuds! A sweet treat for her, and elegantly served, dont you think?Her eggs are due to hatch any minute. Tommorrow we will have Budgie Sunday as usual while I continue to stalk the nest.

Tommorrow is day 16, so they are due to hatch But due dates and actual arrivals can vary, so I will check the nest each day when she goes out for her 'break'...I will also listen carefully during my next checks as sometimes budgie chicks begin to call before they hatch - how cool would that be to hear one of these?!
Very, very cool Lavender!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? Hahhaaa. Yum, yum aphids filled with rose juice, those babies will be healthy once they arrive! Mum had better store all the energy she can get because she's going to need it! HAHA. Beautiful photograph Lavender :)
Lavender, I miss visiting your blog and will return when I am much better from this nasty flu. Don't worry, I am leaving this comment from the isolation ward. :-)
Anon Tehehe Im so excited too! Ive just returned from hanging out some washing, and on my way back I saw her standing in the nest...at first I thought she just might be regulating the temperature as its quite warm today in the backyard...but she then was doing something in the nest and making soft sounds that I havent heard her make before....I think I will be looking toward the tree MANY times today :)
Ces Take your time and get better, maybe add some Chicken noodle soup, that always works for me...I hope youre feeling better very fast! Fingers crossed when you return we will have some little chicks to show you!
1230pm...I just looked out the window again, and it looks like she is feeding chicks...wont know till I see chicks - but thats what it looks like!!!!! I wonder if she will take her usual just before sunset quick break today or if she will stay on them...how exciting!!!
isn't it great to appreciate life well enough to appreciate witnessing this birth????!!
you rock, lavender!
Oh man!! I'm about to go to bed - maybe the length of time I sleep will be long enough for you to see if you saw what you think you saw - and to post pictures!!
Nite!
WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
KJ Aw shucks KJ, thanks!
BetteJo Oh BJ, what am I going to do? My Budige Sunday readers - can they handle the interuption to thier 'regularly scheduled program'????
