Is it worth the $$?

Many bird species...Happy O day!<BR/><BR/>Nature can be cruel. Many bird species are "clutch reducers", meaning that they lay more eggs than they could possibly rear to fledging, and then the nestlings compete for food and attention, with most losing out along the way, but one or two of the stronger luckier ones surviving.It's a bit like IVF where we get stimulated to produce many eggs in the hopes of ending up with one high-quality embryo.<BR/><BR/>The thing that laying lots of eggs, rather than just one, does for the parents is to allow them to take advantage of the occasional very good year food-wise, and raise extra chicks if circumstances turn out to be optimal. Hopefully one of these years you're going to see a whole nest of little ones survive. That will really be something to celebrate.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747382929049494704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29935269.post-36874025604754290562007-08-14T20:22:00.000-06:002007-08-14T20:22:00.000-06:00First off, the fertility monitor is actually bette...First off, the fertility monitor is actually better than BBT because with temperature charting you only figure out when you ovulated after you've ovulated. Don't worry about seeing peak at day 19 still well within normal range. Another blogger just got pregnant after reaching peak at day 25 and so far all is well - she's about 7 weeks along.

I love seeing them return & like you, look for the tiny beaks. Last season, 3 kids all survived & hung out together, balancing on the rooftop with Mum & Dad. I love watching the flying leassons begin & the parents urging the babes to take flight. I feel so proud when they do take their first plunge!Monyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742317718027412003noreply@blogger.com
