Spotted Her Digging with the Webcam

[ben awes]

My female had been pacing for a couple days so I knew she was ready, but every single time I have to manually place her on the "nesting spot" multiple times before she actually digs. She has a plywood indoor enclosure with a single sunken dirt filled tub for nesting. She is nearing her 20th overall clutch and she has never found the nesting spot on her own (not that I expect her to because in her mind anywhere she wants should be a nesting spot). She always, every time, attempts to dig a nest on the plywood floor NEXT to the dirt nesting spot - until today! I caught on the webcam digging her nest in the dirt tub on her own! Unfortunately she walked away after having almost completed the nest, but its a start. Hopefully today she give it another go and lay those eggs!

Here is an older video link of her digging her indoor nest last year.
