Fun words
South Africa is a country with 11 official languages. Pot PLant Owl followers cover the length and breadth of our country, and around the world too. It is fitting, therefore, to have a little fun in this incubation period by learning a few South African language words and phrases. We've been chatting on Ustream and introducing words, and I promised a list of those we've used so far - here it is:

South African Words

Greetings What it means
Sawubona Hello (Zulu)
Yebo Sawubona Reply Hello (Zulu)
Lekker Slaap Sleep well (Afrikaans)
Hamba Kahle Go well (Zulu)
Sala Kahle Stay well (Zulu)
Dankie Thank you (Afrikaans)
Aikona No (Zulu)
Yebo Yes (Zulu)
Pragtige uil Lovely owl (Afrikaans)

I'll keep on updating this list as we chat more.

9:54pm- A change of direction.

9:54pm- Another egg roll... Mom's working hard in the nest bowl.

1:00am- Mom takes a 2 minute break from the nest. She left again around 1:40 for another 2 minute break.

1:44am- Back to incubating. Haven't seen Pappa around.

I am going to say Good Night. Have a good evening friends!

Pappa brought Mom a snack. Will post caps in the morning!

Good Morning All!
Finally got to see Pappa last night. Here's a couple caps I captured but didn't have time to post. He sure is good to Mom making sure she gets a treat from him!


3:17am- Pappa brings Mom a treat.

3:18pm- Pappa always stays by mom until she finishes her treat. I think he keeps watch to protect her and the eggs while she is eating!

1:49pm- Mom continues to incubate her eggs. Getting close to hatch time!

5:09pm- Time for an egg roll again! Slight wind blowing Mom's feathers.
