16:25 Male is calling
16:26 he is calling again and again

[Timea]

There IS an egg. The tension is out of her body. She had about 3 contractions. The egg was not visible, but you could tell by her body movements.

There IS an egg. The tension is out of her body. She had about 3 labor. I' ll search for the correct words later. The egg was not visible, but you could tell by her body movements.

I saw, that she was in labor. I have it written in the chat and here. But there is no egg at this time

Timea, here I wrote that it looks like she is in labor

15:32 - 16:46 video is cut down to 17 minutes


Timea, you can't say there's an egg and you can't say there isn't. I really have no idea. Basically I'm waiting to see her lay an egg

[Liz01]

17:06 male starts hooting

17:26 she is looking behind her.
17:27 back to sleep
17:31 he is hooting
17:33 she is preening herself
now she is sitting in the nest bowl

15:56 it started .. she went in labor. You can see it clearly in the video ..
after that she starts turning .. and turning ... and turning .. She turned the egg out

EDIT: 16:11 she is in labor again .. that has to be the right time - Thank you very much mega2
that matches my observations here:
viewtopic.php?p=891298#p891298
after that, Timea saw an egg

BTW: Basically, I can't make a video titled Female lays her first egg. We will not see an egg at any time..
I'm waiting for my download to finish. I would like to have the video in one piece. My recordings are often interrupted because I wanted to check something. So I can't zoom. Or it would be a lot of work.

we have a great zoom to the nest


17:51 Male must be near

[Liz01]

Everything back to the beginning.
