Hard At Work Hatching

It is a long strenuous job for baby birds to come into the world. They are truly amazing, the way they chip all the way around the inside of the egg. It is also a long process they don't just pop out. From the first break in the egg it is several days before the hatching out is complete. The baby even takes naps in between his hard work to store up more energy to help the chick give that final thrust. That will release him from his egg shell at last.

All mini movie clips do take time to load, please wait, we believe you will enjoy this. It would have taken a lot less time to load if we didn't have sound on this clip. But how often does one have the opportunity to hear and see something so unique.

Be patient this mini clip takes a while to load, but will be very fascinating to see and hear the real life sounds of an actual baby Blue and Gold Macaw beginning to hatch. We hope you enjoy this, and know you will find it interesting. It's not everyday one can get such an opportunity to experience something like this. We were fortunate enough to have the camera ready when our little fellow decided it was time to begin to enter the world. His continuous call gets much stronger in his search for Mom and this little guy is at last releasing himself from his shell.
