But it's never a good idea to jump into a relationship with both both wings. So they cooled their jets and spent some quality time getting to know each other better before making a full commitment. Maura stepped back and decided to let nature take its course, and Kiwi continued courting Siouxie over the next six months. Their initial attraction to each other was only not only confirmed, but solidified. In March, these proud parents-to-be used actions, not words, to announce they were expecting, and Maura was completely over the moon! Siouxie carefully laid her eggs in April, and by June... It took a few days for the rest of the brood to hatch, but soon, all four of them were nestled together in their nest, no doubt waiting for the moment when they could gaze up at their adoring parents. Their plumage slowly started to emerge over the following weeks, and once they'd filled out, Maura was the proud "grandmother" of four "beautiful half goth babies."

Kiwi probably would've done just fine for himself as a life-long bachelor, and with his basic needs taken care of and so many other critters around, he'd never lack for companionship or stimulation. He probably didn't even realize there was a void in his life until Siouxie came along, but now he knows the true meaning of fulfillment. And the world has fallen in love with the adorable pair.
