I meant that she won't sit until they are all laid...otherwise she has 5 babies in different stages and the older ones would eat all the food and leave none for the smaller younger ones. I have heard of bird species who purposefully lay and hatch eggs, then lay and hatch more and then the older chicks can eat the younger ones.

Or a domestic goose? They are big...bigger than the average songbirds. And so soft and gorgeous. If Geoff didn't have a feather allergy, we would sleep in a feather bed. <BR/>(Don't tell the birds I said that.)<BR/>Don't worry...I will remember all the little people. And I can't forget you! You were the first non-family person to comment on my blog!

Pretty plant, very delicate.<BR/><BR/>The other I don't know - looks like some sort of lily - are the leaves very stiff? Let me think on that one.<BR/><BR/>Excellent on your bluebird egg! And the tree swallow nest is so pretty - what type of feathers are in there?<BR/><BR/>Good for you on the Birdchick thing. Try not to forget your first fans when you're famous in the blogosphere, okay? ;-)LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.com
