hi all
in all of my observations of my breeding pair i have not sean the cock bird feeding the hen. i hve been reading that he should be feeding her quite regulary. she does come out from time to time very quickly to get a bit of food or water. i noticed the first egg on the 13th. do you think i will run into any problems?
The male going down into the nest...some pairs feed in the nest, others will call her out at feeding time where she will feed herself and usually her will feed her after.
once chicks are hatched and if the female or male is removed the remaining parent usually will feed the chicks .
