Acer laptop having problem, unable to be switched on, therefore no access to all my photos of the bubul bird. Need fixing - $$$$.!
Birdnest no. 4 (Mar 09)
March 3, a bubul bird came to my bonsai tree again and started repairing the old birdnest.
(Few weeks earlier it dismantled some of the nest materials for building a nest somewhere else. It took away pieces of plastic and cotton fibre for its base. Those eggs must have hatched and baby birds grown.)
Now the bird took 3 days to reconstruct the old nest before laying the 1st egg on March 6 and the 2nd egg the next day. However this time the 2 eggs are smaller than previous and the colour of the eggs are not so red, indicating that there is not so much protein deposits on the shell. This must be the second batch of eggs laid by mother bird - less nutrients in its body. The nest is also smaller and not as well constructed as the First Birdnest No. 1 (Mar 07). Perhaps too this might be a new mother bird - not so much experience in nest building, also could be the previous baby bird now coming back to its old nest to lay eggs.
Whatever, these birds are welcomed to nest and lay eggs at my doorstep, a sign of abundant good fortune, abundant life!
So now two eggs waiting to be hatched.
