hey i almost forgot, i wonder if you have data on egg viability after
shell fracture without membrain penetration.
got 2 macaw eggs patched right now, and got to them both early.
one a blue and gold with doubtful fertility, the other a military that
should be fertile, ( 100% rate for 3 years ).
but all is not lost! they were both first eggs in the clutches, so 
i expect at least 4 viable intact militaries and 4 or 5 blue and golds  
with variable fertility, ( low! )
thanks for any leads on that info.
c.d.
... define sharp.  a baby military macaws toenail at 2 months old!
