Oh Phred, you can tell a story! LOL!

I suppose it's not a good idea to put the eggs in a safer spot? Birds are known to not touch them, if others have.

The other evening we had 2 magpies yapping away right outside our window for over half an hour. I have never heard anything like it! A real serious argument it seemed. I have no idea what it was about, but I know they have a nest in one of the trees and I saw a smaller bird walking around on the pavement looking all bewildered. I hope the mom and dad came to some sort of an agreement!

I hope the eggs will hatch!
