Congratulations to Gabby & Beau on their 2nd egg today! She laid the egg at 5:15pm and our first view was at 5:18pm.
The video opens with Beau on the nest and Gabby arriving. Gabby arrives with a huge crop indicating she had just eaten a big meal. Beau was digging in the nest. He seemed happy again to not have Gabby vocalizing loudly at him and just being content. Little did we know that she was only minutes away from laying her second egg! Beau flies off and he returns to sunset branch and Gabby goes into labor.
She does her tea kettle whistling again and she has some contractions. This labor seemed so much easier for her today. She lays her egg at 5:15pm and is still afterwards until we get to see the egg at 5:18pm (the official time).
Beau is above her on sunset branch and he sees her in labor and he hears her tea kettle whistling! Watch as he turns his head and & is very interested in what is happening to Gabby. He may have seen a peek at the egg when she turned around. I wonder what was going on in Beau's mind as he watched Gabby lay her 2nd egg? I hope that his being a part of the process will kick his hormones in gear and he will try and incubate the egg and not bury it! This was a very special moment in Beau's destiny today and hopefully tomorrow he will get to greet his egg ♥ Congratulations again to our sweet couple Gabby & Beau! Thank you all for watching!
