Plum Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 and Grackle laid her first egg today. Not only that she springcleaned the nestbox. Last night they were all cuddled up in there as normal. I had a bit of a lie in today and when I went down to let them out I found the nest box clean with the egg lying in the straw. There was poo covered in straw outside the door and a big round hole in the newspaper under the straw. What a houseproud girl she is. Tonight they were all chuntering and wombling around the roosting bars, I bet she's told them not to go in there and make a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
