The video opens with Beau on the LOP and Gabby will drop down & lie in the nest ♥ Beau of course comes right over and does some light aerating around her and share some beakies. Gabby softly coos Beau can't resist Gabby laying in the nest and he wants to mate again (05:28). He slips off her initially but gets right back on to finish the job. This is the second mating for Beau and Gabby in one day seen on cam! Beau is certainly feeling very frisky these days! Looked like another successful copulation too!
Eggs are typically laid between 510 days after successful copulation. Last Friday Nov 29th we saw a successful mating on the nest and again today two matings so eggs could be laid anytime between now and Dec 16th. And we don't see what they do away from the cams and nest tree! Gabby's behavior is showing signs she is in her fertile period so love is in the air! Thank you for watching!
Timestamp mating: 05:28
