Klaus, I think the fact is that some parents are much more successful than others. I seem to remember papers that showed that only a small percentage of some species were responsible for the vast majority of offspring. You may just have to face up to the fact that your pair will never make it. Other parents will succeed most of the time because of better nest site selection, more attentive parental care etc. etc. Best regards, Richard At 06:04 PM 25/04/98 +1000, you wrote: >Hi everyone, >It's bugging me now for a while, and maybe someone knows an answer.
