About the twentieth day after the laying of the egg, I noticed that the mother was not sitting on it any more. She pecked the father and drove him away every time he flew down from the roof of the house and volunteered to sit on the egg. Then he cooed, which meant, &ldquo;Why do you send me away?&rdquo;</p> <p>She, the mother, just pecked him the more, meaning, &ldquo;Please go. The business on hand is very serious&rdquo;.</p>
