Weather allowed inspection of nestbox. Chick found dead. Possibly died 19Jun08. Second egg unhatched and upon candling, chick dead in shell, not completely formed. G-8 CUSI might not have been able to maintain proper incubating temperature inside nestbox due to foul weather or due to inexperience. Female continues to beg from male G-22 CUSI (confirmed primary mate). Nestbox almost had equal amounts of shavings and leaves cut by the female. Nestbox was completely dry inside. Both nestboxes cleaned and treated with pyrethrin. Substrate replaced with new shavings. Unhatched egg dimensions: 17mm x 19.5mm
