Mr & Mrs diamond dove have finally got their act together, come home from school today see the male diamond dove sitting tight, I had to literally lift him of the nest he was so calm, then there in the nest there was their 1st... Egg!

I just noticed that both parents are roosting in their usual spot when it's dark, and not on the nest. Do they not sit at night on the first few days? Will they incubate at night within a few days?
Thanks, Mike

most usually start on first egg but some will start sitting on second egg once laid

2 dove eggs and nice strong baby zebbies

Well done finchbreeder . I've discovered this week a pair of my Zebs are sitting on 4 eggs. There wasn't much to the nest (in a box) until I threw in a few feathers. Now its starting to look (slightly) more like it should.

Congratulations

5 baby zebs from what I can see, 2 dove eggs and 1 canary egg!
