Heidelberg: eyases on their way!





Watching the nestbehaviour today indicates something is happening inside the eggs. The female was excited, looking at the eggs, wiggeling, looking again, looking around.

32 days ago incubation began. There are 3 eggs. If everything goes well, the eyas(es) will have pipped the membrame to the aircell and has started screaming from inside the egg. Indicating to his sibblings: "I am on my way guys, come on let's hatch together". For the mother it is very exciting. From feeling the little ones move inside the egg, to hearing them is a great bondingprocess, for her as well as for the male.

So in Heidelberg as weel, eyases must be on their way. Maybe another hatch tomorrow....
