I am so excited! We have 3 bubs so far. I've only had 1 bub before and it died within 2 days of hatching. She's such a calm mum. Stayed in the box watching me while I took about 10 pictures and she let me pet her all without screaming or biting me.  |

 Ashley, the bub has it's head on dads back, his neck is under his wing and his body is between dad and mum - it is the same bub that is the eldest bub. Very much alive and squawking.
