Eggery Peanut seems relieved to have Hotcha gone, and continues full-speed ahead with her nest. Her first egg was laid April 14th - here the Cam has caught her laying her second egg. Her new partner comes from a family of canaries who generally dote on babies. He was named by the Flock (last year), when his seven-year-old mom, Mrs Bits, surprised me by hatching him out - I had thought her too old to have babies! They decided that this meant that he was her number-one son, and so gave him the name of 'Alpha' - plus 'Bits', for his mom.
