I saw it at lunch time and it took me back to my cute and intelligent baby, who is on my picture...
Too hard to watch them at this time

Dear ame, big thanks for your great work. Day after day without a break.

In 2015, a similar situation was also experienced in the same nest, the optics were cleaned then, but the female, seeing the hidden camera, took it very seriously, began to visit the nest less often, and the male fed the chicks to a large extent by himself.
"After two weeks I will decide what to do," says Ķuze. "If it rains, it will wash the optics, but the longer it doesn't rain, the more this dung will stick and it will be harder to get off."
I listened in yesterday for a few minutes & heard Small cheeping; he sounded stronger than he did the day before. Today I am listening in, moving the time here & there but have not heard anything from the chicks or the parents.
