Their
chick has been rehomed again in Bell's nest.

I wished for lacewings and got a half sider! I read up on the coloration and found that half siders aren't a true mutation but a development condition. It is thought that twins merge very early in development. They can have two different mutations on each side being split down the middle or can have splotches of different mutations through out the body. They are also thought to be infertile. This is a very rare condition.

Zeus and Violet's nest
Violet is laying on four eggs. I will definitely know who the father of the chicks are now. Violet and Apollo's only chick can get in and out of Bell's next. He can also perch with ease.
Otis and Athena's nest
Athena is also laying more eggs. She has eight eggs. Otis spends most of his time sitting right nest to her in the nest box.
