Hi MIke, Thanks for the nice compliments!!! I know that u have as many beautiful Plumeria...are they ready to Bloom? You had said that you had a few inflos showing, so i was wondering if they are ready to put on a show!!! That White Plumeria is a Noid (Meaning no id on this tree...LOL!!! Not a named variety) For those that dont know what a Noid is!! : ) I will be more than happy to send u a cutting of this White if u want one...it seems to have the scent of the "Scentsational", but since it was sold without a tag...i can only guess. You know only a cutting can carry the true name. MIke did mention the great buys that he found at HD (Home Depot) : ) He is very lucky to have found some real beauties!! We even laughed about skipping lunch just to pick up a few more for that price! He really had some great restraint not to bring home a truck load!! LOL Thank you for thinking of me, things are getting better here! I have K up and walking around the house and she seems to have made the turn ... Your thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated... Many hugs to you and Sissy! Her words of enncourgement were so helpful! Give her a big Hug and Kiss for me!!! Take care Mike, and to everyone else!!! Laura in VB (Virginia Beach) : )

Jeff-that would be my guess too. They have a unique way they bob their tail when they are sitting on a branch or line. We always get a mom that nests under our carport (Central Illiniois) and it is fun to watch how many bugs she brings back to feed the babies. Kara

Yeah, I was thinking a species of nest parasite because of the disparity in size. It might have been trying to push its smaller nest mate out of the nest and got carried away with its pushing.

I have to say those chicks need better nesting material under them. Clean straw or shredded newspaper would work if you can't buy nesting material at the pet store. You need to keep an eye on the youngest chick since the two older ones are going to get most of the food from the parents due to their size. Hopefully you have on hand some feeding syringes, or even a small spoon, so that you can handfeed the youngest chick as needed. If his crop always looks empty, give him some handfeeding formula or he may end up starving. If you're not comfortable handfeeding, you can move the oldest chick to a warm area for about an hour so that the youngest chicks get a little more food from the parents. So far their coloring and skin look really good, but I worry with the size difference. I stress using nesting material of some sort since you can see in the pics that the chicks aren't able to keep their feet under their bodies and they also look cold. Nesting material helps hold heat and will prevent leg splay.
