I lost my favorite finch, Molly Sue.
My business partner had a heart attack, so I got left buried in work while he recovers.
My 9-year-old chihuahua got sick and we had to put him down Monday. Devastating.
So my head hasn't been in the game lately.
Even so, I always care for my lovelies. They're my continual bright spot.
But apparently, I didn't look closely enough on those nest checks because Squeepers and Cecily had a secret. Two secrets to be precise:
Yep. Two little babies.
And not newborn babies. That big guy has already sprouted feathers! He's probably close to a week old!
I never saw them! I **heard** the big guy squeeping.
So how did I miss this?
Well, it seems there was just 2 eggs and the little depression was near the front wall of the nest. So when I look in, they're in my blind spot.
So funny! So now you can add me to the list of people with surprise Squeeps!
As an aside, I'm THRILLED that I finally got a baby from my lovely little Squeepers! He's never shown any attraction to a female (and still seems only lukewarm with Cecily) but he's a lovely little daddy. (A first time dad, no less!)
I am a tad bit concerned about the little one. He moves strangely. I can't put my finger on what's odd, but his movements aren't quite "right". I'll have to look closer and get a video a bit later.
