Durbe Sea Eagle Pair Decides to Outperform Liepāja's Birth Statistics
While young couples in Liepāja are more likely thinking about an apartment on Pētera Street than about children, the Durbe eagles have already laid their first egg.
The Durbe sea eagle pair Milda and Zorro officially started their new season today by laying their first egg in their nest located nine stories high. This is about as rare an occurrence as a young couple in Liepāja buying an apartment on Pētera Street and immediately planning children.
Online followers enthusiastically watched both the egg-laying process and how Zorro tried to get a closer look at the result. As a local birdwatcher comments: "It was as thrilling as watching someone try to find a free parking spot at the Central Market on Saturday."
The eagle pair spent several days preparing their nest, sprucing it up with additional branches and grass. Meanwhile, human couples in Liepāja tend to spend years collecting money for an apartment down payment, and more years figuring out whether they even want children or would prefer a new car instead.
Last year, the first chick hatched on April 14th, which by Liepāja standards is an extraordinarily precise deadline. In our city, even the bus schedule isn't that reliable. As locals say: "If eagles can raise two chicks a year nine stories high, then Liepāja residents could at least try not to forget to feed their cats."
