He's a bold one - must have been quite the ladies man. <br /><br />Thisisme (I know that can't be your name and I feel funny calling you that), but anyway, Olive didn't get off the nest today and I couldn't bring myself to pick her up. A friend told me this morning that by the 28th day, if no hatchlings, she'll get off and abandon the eggs. I think I'll wait - but of course, if I catch her off the nest tomorrow, I'll go ahead with my plans.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-81149212350138482782011-05-04T14:41:50.683-04:002011-05-04T14:41:50.683-04:00Poor little Olive, running as fast as her little f...Poor little Olive, running as fast as her little feet would carry her. I can just visualize it. LOL!! Good luck on getting rid of the eggs. I hope you don't get attacked!

L...I am itching to hear more of the bicycle story.<br /><br />Love this stuff. <br />By the way Dave and I went to a haunted restaurant by the ocean a few years ago.It was featured on one of those television shows to investigate. It is somewhere on my blog. <br />There was NO WAY I was going to the restroom while there. That is where the man showed up to rub ladies legs, He never hurt anyone, but I would hurt me getting out of there. <br />These facinate me but scare the beejeebies out of me too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-74351151034895825412011-05-04T08:35:47.344-04:002011-05-04T08:35:47.344-04:00Jane, multiply that one cicada by tens of thousand...Jane, multiply that one cicada by tens of thousands and you'll know what we're going through. It's so interesting though, so I don't mind at all putting up with it a couple of weeks every thirteen years. <br /><br />I think I'm going in armed with long sleeves and gloves today and take Olive off her nest - put her in her coop for a while and destroy the eggs. Armed is the word because I hear that broody hens are not pleasant when you disturb their nest. We'll see.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894937401369741806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807358689849758829.post-26739301693104193572011-05-04T04:41:20.461-04:002011-05-04T04:41:20.461-04:00Sorry been away for a few days and have only just ...Sorry been away for a few days and have only just got round to catching-up with everyone.<br /><br />Love your bike rider story - and poor Olive, I know so well that trance etc. Only way that we got them unbroody was destroying the nest, which does seem mean, but they get so pathetically skinny.<br /><br />Where I lived before we once had a cycadia beetle on the balcony - the noisy was deafening and I couldn't figure where it came from until the kids showed me - I flicked it and as it flew off we could watch for several minutes the noise was such a beacon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
