Checking in on my birthday girls . What have they been up to? A lot, it seems! Not just sitting pretty, but sitting on eggs.

Muru and Nuppu are a couple, but they're both female, so where did they acquire these downy little ones? Well, birds and maybe non-avian dinos, too, can be sensitive to disturbances when nesting, and may abandon their clutch if they judge the location they've chosen as being too dangerous after all, so maybe the chicks' biological parent(s) did so, and these two ladies happened upon the nest before a scavenger did and before it was too late for the eggs to continue incubating. It's nesting season, so instincts told them to brood them instead of, perhaps, eating them.

In that case, are their new babies actually even the same species as them? For now, who knows, though they presumably are at least coelurosaurian theropods since the eggs were familiar enough for the two raptors to see as adoptable, and since they're this fluffy and also sharp-toothed. So even if not conspecifics, chances are good they're carnivores.

Special thank you to FurkiReyizler for the inspiring comment!
