I noticed that Emma was sitting by the door to the cage. I was just about to get up and let her out when Silver went down to the floor of the cage and took a look at the eggs. Mama bird flew down and drove him off lickety split!

Usually the cock is the main nest guardian. But if he doesn't do his job, the hen will do it for him! When Pip and Ladybug are breeding, Elvis wants to visit the nest. Pip doesn't mind but Ladybug certainly does.
