Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

How long before your bird eggs take to hatch @Adge (I know chooks are 21 days).

It's usually about 2 weeks for most finches @Former-Member

They're not as well-developed as chickens, when they hatch. Chickens can pretty much feed themselves (or look for food) straight away.

Finches & baby parrots (eg Budgies) stay in the nest & have to be fed by their parents for 1 to 2 weeks, after they hatch - before they come out of the nest, almost fully-feathered.

Baby canaries don't even open their eyes for several days, after they hatch.

They're little yellow fluffballs with affro (punk) hair-dos, until they get their feathers (then they change colour).

Hello goodnight all.

@Former-Member Flooding was an outside chance, and looking less likely all the time. Stormwater finding gaps in the house was more my concern, but I think we've covered the main stress points for that.

Sleep well everyone, I'm hoping to do so.
