Sounds like good progress with Harley. Did he jump when you dipped it in the bucket or squeezed it on him?
We went out with white electric tape and some posts to make a little 'no walk' zone around that bird nest, and it was empty! :~o. I don't know if the parents can move the eggs (??), maybe because I upset her the other day, or if they got eaten by something. :~(
So while we were out there... Cyn wanted to check out what we had in our hands... I'm rubbing the tape on her face...
And then let her bite it.
I missed the funnier picture... she grabbed a loop and started backing up with it in her mouth, like a tug of war but it just kept uncoiling... :~)
Ah, maybe she was scared away and something did eat them. Even other birds will eat eggs from a nest.
I had an early doctor's appt this morning and didn't have time to ping everyone. Then I ran around paying bills, came home and fired up the weed eater and tiller and did some yard work. The farrier was here this morning also and I had shoes put on Bodie's fronts. He sure doesn't like to extend his legs out on the stand for filing or picking up his feet. I about break my back when I clean them.
