The Solo Canary Laid a Large Egg, and then Another
Many things can happen during the day that we don’t see coming.
Prior to this morning, I did not know single tiny canaries can drop a rather large egg.
Google research quickly revealed, yes, it happens. Often in overfed females.
I was beginning to suspect that the stout red tabby Mario and the plump canary Gino had overly healthy appetites this Spring.

These days I have so much nervous energy from caretaking, I can see now I’ve probably overfed my early morning buddies. Every persistent meow or chirp sends me refilling their bowls, receptacles for my baseline anxiety.
They have me on a leash, say the Millennials.
Regardless, it was a lovely mother’s day surprise as I sat communing with the canary, sipping my coffee by the fire before the house stirred. Then she dropped an egg in her birdbath.
Thanks Gino/Gina. For sharing that moment.
And a second egg appeared the day following:
