Very strange Chris..... Ive had some very strange behavior with nesting over the last few years too.
One of my worst was, what was obviously a very late nest with only 4 eggs and only one hatched. The chick was never fed and the Mum kept on incubating the other eggs. The poor chick died of neglect, Mum just removed it and spent another 2 weeks incubating eggs that were never going to hatch.
In the end they are just like humans, some good parents and some bad and all that’s in between.
Have anymore Hatched?
