Final Egg Count: 4!

It's 4 eggs for us! YAY OPHIE!

The last egg was laid on Friday, February 23rd. It takes 14 to 18 days of incubation until the eggs will hatch. That means the earliest that a baby will appear is Friday, March 9th.

We'll keep you up to date on how the eggs are coming along.

How many will it be?

Poor Shirley and Steve...

At first they wanted lots of eggs. We had one on Saturday, :( ,but that was before our nest was to our liking and it broke on the bottom of the cage. Sunday the nest finally was good enough for our eggs and so Ophie laid one on Monday.

Wednesday, Ophie laid our second good egg.


We heard Shirley and Steve talking about how it looks like the eggs are coming every other day.
We decided to keep them guessing by laying another one on Thursday...


Three good eggs, how many more will come?


Sorry about the sparse entries but WE'RE BUSY LAYING EGGS!!!!
Get back to work.

Nesting


So, Shirley gave us a nest this week. She was feeling guilty because we've been trying to build a nest for a long time and she finally gave in and let us have one. She's worried we're going to have lots and lots of babies.

We don't really like the nest. (Ophie really doesn't like it.) We like taking out the nesting material and putting it in the corner of the cage. We've been having lots of fights over where the nest should be and who should build it. (Dragon keeps stealing the nesting material out of Ophie's beak because he wants to build the nest.)
