Here she is beautiful and amazing Mariah. You can see the diference between them, besides the bodysize, in the little white featherstripe right above her cere. Kaver is all darkgrey.

Mariah and her egg
Keeping an eye on things
The proud father Kaver with his first egg of the season. Kaver is an excellent dad! Father to many pretty daughters by the way. The four of last year where exceptional !
" We need another, and a wiser, perhaps a more mystical,
concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.
*
We patronize them for their incompleteness,
for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.
And therein we err, and greatly err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man.
*
In a world older and more complete than ours
they move finished and complete,
gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained,
living by voices we shall never hear.
*
They are not brethren.
They are not underlings.
They are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time,
fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
*
