8 Dec and we have chicks!

We've got two little chicks sitting in the new pot plant nest with a very proud mom.

We've been out the past few evenings and every time we've returned home, we've found PPO sitting in the nest. Last night we came home and noticed that she was sitting more upright and stared at me when I tried to say hello.Pappa hooted on the rooftops for a long time last night and didn't fly too far away.

This morning, I opened the bedroom curtains, and there they were! Two little heads popping up from under their mom. We watched a few more minutes until feeding time...

  5. This is wonderful news, am so happy for PPO and Pappa, and of course for Tracy and Allan after such disappointment. It was thought the second lot of matings wouldn't be "productive" but PPO knew what she was doing. There's going to be a lot more happiness in the world today :D
