The proud mama
Here’s Lagertha, proud mama of at least four Bluebird babies. One egg did not hatch so far but it might be a straggler. The mama bird only starts incubating the eggs once her clutch is complete to make sure that they all hatch at the same time. Often, that works, sometimes it does not work completely, so we will have to see what happens. She helped all the hatchlings to get rid of any excess egg shell by eating it. The babies all look great, and Ragnar is very attentive, bringing her snacks to the box, so I am sure they will make it through the coming cold snap just fine. They are Vikings after all :D
