    or so, we'll have baby finches!! If she continues to incubate as well as she has been!!

    I'll post pics as soon as I can. I haven't wanted to jinx it so I haven't said anything about this clutch until now. She has four perfect little eggs, that she decided to lay in her food dish. So I gave her some nesting materials and a new food dish for everyone to eat from. She's loaded the food dish with the fabric scraps, pieces of raffia and purchased nesting materials. All three tend the nest and redecorate daily.

    they play in and on and around the TP roll, I had to take it out of the cage to get a pic of them. Otherwise Fred would have been hiding in it.
