Maya and 33(11) have taken turns incubating their precious eggs and we should see the first hatch towards the end of the first week in May.
19:17 33 stands by Maya watching over their one and only
chick rises as 33 collects the fish
off he goes with it much to the chick's surprise
then baby dino has a tantrum - it wants its fish back lol
33 soon returns with it
and peace restored as baby dino gets some more fish
”then baby dino has a tantrum - it wants its fish back lol”
That is so funny Karen!!
He/she's gonna be a handful
