Ares and Serena: Making Up for Lost Time

With the egg-laying window approaching (less than two weeks out), Ares and Serena have significantly ramped up their breeding activity. The pair has been performing multiple ledge displays at the nestbox each day, strengthening their bond and signaling their readiness for the breeding season ahead. Food giftings and matings have become increasingly frequent, a strong indication that they are on track for egg-laying. Their presence at the nestbox has also noticeably increased. Yesterday, Serena spent an extended period inside the box on her own—an important step in getting comfortable with her nesting site.
