care of the eggs and the nest: rolling the eggs, digging/aerating the bottom of the nest bowl, collecting the soft material, ... (mostly there is short preening, if longer I am reporting it - btw. we see self preening and care of the nest also while they are sitting/incubating)

NATALIO
- 06.48.40 - 06.49.20
- 07.38.05 - 07.40.12

I don't see (on the small screen) any changes in the eggs - and I don't hear the egg talking


- 08.26.08 - 08.27.19

Are those holes?

[marika.solo]

a pellet out
(pellet in ornithology, is the mass of undigested parts of a bird's food that some bird species occasionally regurgitate)
