Baby Macaronis

• 5 weeks is the incubation period, where the
  duties of watching the egg is divided into
  roughly three shifts between the parents. During
  the first shift, both parents incubate the egg,
  then the male goes to sea, and the female carries
  out the second shift alone. The male returns for
  the third shift, while the female goes to sea,
  not to return until the chick has hatched.
