My husband took this great photo of our sweet Bourke nesting on her eggs – and I wanted to share it with you. When he took the photo, he obviously didn’t want to use the camera’s flash, so the lighting of the photo might not be ideal, but the photo is still amazing in its gentle sweetness. Even though we have a male bird, we keep them separated except for chaperoned playtimes, so these eggs aren’t fertilized, and eventually she will tire of them. It is a bit sad to think of her so steadfastly roosting on these eggs for no realized end, but in a way I think she enjoys the process (at least I hope so, as it seems to be nature’s call for her). She is roosting in a tissue box (the vet’s recommendation – it works very well and is disposable which is nice and tidy) – my husband cuts the windows so that she can see us and her best bird friend. In any event, there is something so peaceful and warm about this photo of our little girl and her eggs – ENJOY!
