Any indication that this pair is getting more adept at breeding?
In terms of egg-laying, fertility et al? :confused:

Really sorry that I missed the Bird Curator Talk ...;)

They keep laying eggs,but if memory serves me correctly from what Andrew said on the Walk and Talk,the eggs have so far been infertile!
 
The male is old and somewhat arthritic and may not be doing his part in mating properly, so while they're a lovely couple and frequently have eggs, as zoogiraffe says, they haven't proved to be fertile. A shame, as they do seem to be a very bonded couple and it would be nice to see them rear a youngster.
