WS

Thanks Lai and WS    it really is great to be posting pics again and watching the cams and a lot of that is down to you WS and your help with sorting that out, you have been a   

Ana & Pavan really have grown haven't they, you really need to keep a close eye on these little birds otherwise they are all fluffed up and gone so quickly

So far all is quiet, Ana & Pavan are resting.

  Haven't they grown? I always forget how quickly they grow. Thanks for the pic Littlewid.

I know it seems like a similar picture but this is Ana & Pavan tonight and they are lying side by side with their beaks poking out......so cute I think

  Littlewid, lovely to see Phoebe actually feeding them.

 Cracking pic LW, I've been trying to get one, or a vid of Phoebe feeding, but she's always had her back to me

WS

I'm afraid there's some sad news Guys Phoebe is MIA, she has not been seen since 4hrs before night fell, and she has not returned to the nest this morning. It is around 9-00am there now, and still no sign   . The chicks are still OK so she must have fed them plenty on her last visit, the Mods, and Mr P have said not to panic. There is an experienced rehaber Monique on her way, she feeds them a special milk formular milk that is proven to work, and is the same one that saved Pip last year, so dont give up hope yet. Just keep everything X.
Will let you all know more asap.

New Update
Monique has now taken the nest, Ana, and Pavant she will be feeding the with the special Formula. We will be getting updates which I will pass on as soon as I get them. Keep your fingers crossed for our little phriends. Monique is hoping that if all goes OK, she will return Ana & Pavant to fledge where they were born

That is just so very sad WS. Obviously something has happened to Phoebe because she would never just leave Ana & Pavan    hopefully they will do well in Moniques care and thrive for their mum Phoebe.
I have just had a look in and the cam is still running but it is incredibly sad not to see the nest there with our little baby Hummers and of course no Phoebe. What a sad day.

Thanks for the update though WS and lets hope we get some news on how Ana & Pavan are doing soon.

I just came across that video WS, its quite touching isn't it. You must have found it after I posted yesterday. The cam is still up and running as is the chat but again its very sad not to see phoebe and the little Hummers where they should be but they do seem to be doing ok as of yesterday.

Yes LW I added the Video later, Mr P put it up on Phoebe Chat.
Latest Update from Monique
Monique: The twins slept well last night & are up & with eager appetites. Eating with lots of energy. They are near a sunny window & doing well.

WS

That's really good news WS     lets hope it continues

  What sad news to come home to, I wonder what happened to poor Phoebe, our super hummer? She has been such a star over the years we've been watching her.

Good news that Ana and Pavan are doing okay. Nature sometimes is very harsh.

Thanks for updating us WS.

Lai

Here is the link to Moniques page, she is looking after Ana & Pavan at the moment and she is posting pictures and updating on how they are getting on.
At the moment the cam is still streaming but obviously there is no nest but the chat on line continues.

  Littlewid. I will try and check that out later today.

Lai

 Some good news Guys. Ana & Pavan have been successfully raised by Monique, and are due to be released in the garden, at Mr P's Sunday 1st March between 9-30 and 10-00 pm out time weather permitting. I will try to get a video of the release if I can

WS

  That's such lovely news, thanks for letting us know WS. I wonder if they ever found out what happened to poor little Phoebe?

Lai

       
Ana & Pavant were successfully released

Great work by Monique & Mr P to get these two away to freedom



WS

  WS - thanks for posting that. I got to see up to 2.02 and then it stopped so I didn't see the last 14 seconds, probably my connection is on a go slow but it was lovely to see them both being released.
