The sunshine was particularly good at noon. I went to the hut and opened the windows to let the air in and let the birds breathe.
At this time, Coal was jumping around and playing outside the cage. One moment he jumped to the top of the cage, and the next moment he flew to the girl’s head to pick her hair. He looked very excited. I said: Coal is so excited, why doesn't he hatch eggs in the nest? The daughter said: Snowball is hatching eggs.
I looked into the coconut shell and saw Snowball lying in the coconut shell, quietly hatching eggs. Although Coal was playing all kinds of things outside, Snowball was minding his own business, quietly hatching eggs in his nest.
I said to my daughter: Do you think they can still lay eggs? Will they lay eggs again? The daughter said: I don’t know, I can’t see it now. At this time, the snowball also came out. The girl took a look into the coconut shell and said: Ah, there are five! I looked inside, and sure enough there were already five eggs.
Wow, is this an explosion! It seems that what is said on the Internet is correct. Munnia usually lays 3 to 5 eggs in a row and then starts to incubate the eggs. Oh my God, there are five eggs. Can they hatch them with such small bodies? I read from the Internet that it takes about 14 days for the white-rumped munia chicks to hatch.
Coal was flying around excitedly outside the cage. When he saw me coming, he flew over and landed on my arm. I reached out and he jumped on me again. hands. I fed him a small piece of steamed bun in my hand, and he ate it mouth by mouth. It tasted very delicious.
In a blink of an eye, I saw the snowball in the nest and stretched my neck to look out. I thought, Snowball had a hard time hatching eggs, and he also wanted to eat steamed buns. So, I stretched the steamed bun to the mouth of the nest, and Xueqiu glanced at it and ignored it. I stretched forward again, and Snowball suddenly pecked the steamed bun a few times with his mouth. He was not eating it, but seemed to be chasing me away. Haha, little birds are so interesting. They concentrate on hatching eggs and do nothing else. They are so multitasking!
After a while, Coal had enough fun and returned to his nest. At this time, the snowball came out and landed at the door of the cage. It stretched its left leg and wings, and then stretched its right leg and wings. Then she flew to the small bowl and started eating millet. I gave her steamed buns, and she also started eating. After eating enough, he flew to the water box to drink water. When Snowball has had enough fun, he will fly back to his nest and hatch eggs with coal.
Coal and Snowball were bought by my daughter in May last year and became two little members of my family. My daughter fed them carefully and gave them names: Coal and Snowball. It is said on the Internet that the white-rumped munia is timid and afraid of people, and it is difficult for purchased adult birds to get close to people. But because Coal and Snowball were raised little by little by us, they already regard us as their relatives, so they are not afraid of us at all. Every day when we open the cage, they fly out to play with us, and especially love to watch our phones with us. Two little birds bring us a lot of joy.
We watched them grow from little featherless birds to adult birds day by day. Now they have laid eggs and are ready to be parents, and we feel very happy. I hope they can successfully hatch the eggs this time and hatch cute little birds!
