Here's another beaky video for you to enjoy today! The past several days, our love birds have taken a holiday break from nestorations and spending time off the nest. They've been spotted on Cam 2 and doing flybys so, I thought I would share a little Nestflix with some fun nestkeeping shenanigans from a couple weeks ago. The snow has melted since this video and is all clear now.❄

When these two get so into their tasks, they don't always appreciate the "help" from the other. So Mr and Mrs beaky get extra nippy. Jackie even made a few trips to shop for more furniture and was back in minutes. She is so good at speed shopping!

Mr. Beaky also tried to sneak in some flirty nips after Jackie turned her back to him. He even nipped her on her bum again and in turn she gets her usual "Stop that, Mr." scowl on her face as she whips back a warning.

At the end Jackie gives a quick bole test but hops right back up. The roly poly pinecone still hasn't found a permanent spot but they move it around often. Sometimes it gets in their way but this particular pinecone was specifically picked by Jackie and brought to the nest as her nursery decor, so it's likely going to stick around for awhile.

Note: They will be in nestoration mode through December and begin egg watch in January!
