We are so jazzed -- our green strawberries have finally got the idea & are very jealously guarding their nestful of eggs. No signs of chicks yet, but that's mainly because mom & dad won't leave the nest long enough for a check.

This is our first shot w' strawb chicks. Any advice?

Cheers,
Pat

Congratulations! I know that you have said that they have been working the nest lately... and TaDa! Here they go.
I'm jealous... LOL.

Well, how did the eggs turn out? Do you have babies!?

We have babies! Just home from vacation on Sunday, checked the nest yesterday & there are at least two little ones, eyes not yet open, and a couple more eggs that may/may not hatch. We're so jazzed! These are our first strawberry chicks.

We're particularly excited because we didn't expect their parents to breed -- it's a mixed aviary with several zebras, and they are sooooo disruptive of everyone else. So... HURRAY! and stay tuned for updates.
