A confused cockatoo at a wildlife centre spent two weeks trying to hatch a bowl of Easter eggs.

The 17-year-old bird, called Pippa, adopted the chocolate eggs when her owner put them out just before Easter as a treat for visitors to the centre in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Hatch them out indeed.  A cunning ploy by the bird to make sure it got its chocs.  Can't fault it.

The only known pair of nesting ospreys in Wales has successfully hatched two chicks.

The birds of prey have returned from Africa to the nesting site at Glaslyn, near Porthmadog, Gwynedd, to raise chicks each year since 2004.

The first egg of three laid in April by the female osprey hatched late on Wednesday and the second on Friday.

I didn't know about that.  Ospreys are very rare in Wales!
