(OCTOBER 2024 HATCHES - session starts on PAGE 23)
2022-23 season's thread
One of the 3 eggs did not hatch. KATE gathered this info for us:
SunnyKate23 Jan 2023 4:24 PMUPDATE
NEWS 29th December 2022 The egg was removed and I 'candled' it with a torch. The egg has a slight leak through a small crack, but is otherwise intact. Despite using a very strong LED torch, I could see nothing, so I think the eggshell is too thick. It may be that the chick simply could not emerge. I'll offer it to the Australian Museum.
Two chicks fledged: Indigo and Rubus, both males. Indigo, the elder, was last seen on 18 March when Diamond blocked his entry to the nest box. Rubus fledged @ 46 days but died 9 days later, the result of a flying accident.

IMAGICAT
FLEDGE TODAY
NEWS 13th November 1126 am Garrama (the smaller one ie the male) fledged today. Both parents went after him, so they know where he is and will feed him and look after him. He was 39 days old, so quite old enough. Video: https://youtu.be/JT30LcMTYJw The larger female, Yira, who is 40 days old might also fledge today, but is more likely to wait a few more days. Here is an example of the the youngsters "wingersizing" earlier this morning. https://youtu.be/jXpDbThJnHI
