I'm starting this thread in case it's not possible for MARY to do it due to the first-of-the-month freeze-up.
Aila, Louis and their 3 chicks are flourishing, with Louis proving a great provider to the biggest family he's had so far.
I might add some snaps 'n things if I last a bit longer, but let's get the thread on the road first ;)

Feeding over, Aila took a quick comfort break and returned
All is calm, chicks are content, giving the odd contact chatter
One chick complained as Aila stood on its 'elbow' joint!

The way Louis has been providing so far, I think their tummies are permanently full Ian

Aw Sheila, you spoiled my quiz, the question was going to be "guess where Aila is". Ian
