It must make you feel good inside, knowing that you're helping them like this.<br /><br />I've copied some relevant bits from some software I have, on breeding birds.<br /><br />Egg-laying<br />April to early May. <br /><br />Clutch Size<br />Usually 8-13 ranging from 7 to 15; single or double-brooded. <br /><br />Incubation<br />Usually 13-14 days though ranging from 10 to 22 days; by the female and begins when the last egg has been laid. <br /><br />Fledging Period<br />Young leave the nest at 16-22 days, becoming independent after a further 2-4 weeks. <br /><br />Parental Care<br />Young are tended and fed by both adults. <br /><br />Going to be interesting :)holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.com
