In spite of this, Kimber layed an egg and sat on it for nearly two weeks. She and Sven shared the cage with the egg. A couple of times, briefly, Sven was seen spreading his wings in a manly display. Kimber hissed at him.
The egg was found broken at the bottom of the cage. Sven was relocated to his own cage. He grew light headed upon arrival but did not faint.
