A new voice in my home...

[fajrdrako]

I was sitting here working on a Clex story and I heard peeping from the bird cage right behind me. That's nothing new: I have four noisy feathered guys who have a lot to say and like to say it.

But this peeping was a new voice.

This peeping is coming from the nesting box that Wisdom has been sitting in for a few weeks.

This peeping is.... Unfamiliar. Certainly not Wisdom's assertive voice, or Simon's loud chirp. This is a tiny sound, rather like a cricket. I suspect I couldn't hear it on the other side of the room.

I think someone hatched.

I can't see the baby; I don't want to disturb anyone by looking into the nesting box with a flashlight. But -

Either Wisdom has adopted a cricket or I have a fifth budgie.

Oh my goodness.

Is that why Wisdom was looking so happy and smug when she popped out of the box this morning?

*happy dance* That's wonderful news. Thank you! I wish that we could have an egg, but Ceilidh's a boy and we have no girl parrot, so it's not going to happen. Please share more as more is available to share. :-D

I can just imagine a little baby Ceilidh! A feisty infant with a haughty stare!

It may be a while before I get to see the baby. Wisdom emerged from the nesting-box, a little unsteady on her balance and not quite able to fly. I guess it's been a busy, tiring time for her.

I wonder if the other eggs will hatch.

Meanwhile, the adorably squeaky peep-sound continues periodically.
