Previous: Parivalakka’s
Delivery – Part 1
On day 1 it was late in the evening and we didn’t see
Parivalakka near the egg, and I was worried. I searched in internet and saw
people saying that the egg is likely to go waste if the mother doesn’t incubate
for one hour. Till late night, we didn’t see her and I thought she might have
abandoned the egg. Apparently, it is not too uncommon. Maybe she was too young
and was trying this for the first time, I assumed.
Parivalakka back
on Day 2
But today i.e. on day 2 morning, we saw Parivalakka
back near the egg. And I was very glad to see this. I was still amused about
the fact that she abandoned the egg for a long duration yesterday evening, but
decided to wait and watch.
Missing dude showed
up once
I was constantly wondering yesterday about
Parivalakka’s missing male partner. Today he made a guest appearance. I could
see a slightly dark coloured pigeon near the nest (not exactly inside) and near
Parivalakka, and I am assuming it is her guy. I didn’t get a chance to take a
picture (didn’t want to scare them away), waiting for next opportunity.
Pleasant Surprise
Now it is around 2:30 pm and we finished lunch few
min back. We could see through window that Parivalakka is sitting near the egg.
After we finished the lunch, I peeked and to my surprised, I saw the following!
Second
egg in the Herb Pot
(Parivalakka has moved old egg towards
left, new one is on the right)
Still need help,
advices
I still didn’t get any help or advice on how to
deal with this, in spite of posting this article in many forums. Well, I am
trying to see what is already available on internet and see what is practical
for me, and then leave rest to the nature.
