In love with them already. There's nothing like new babies to lift one's spirits on a Summer/Winter day.

Haha! I know about going to "looking at" birds and other pets.

I don't think I've ever just looked! (Even when I planned on it! LOL)

What a wonderful score! They're all so lovely! Love the bathing pic of the baby PF too!

Are those stars fully colored up?
It may be the photo, but they're so much more peachy than the yellows I've seen. I love the look of them!
I'm glad you got the third. I never leave a lone third baby behind. (And the one time I did, I regretted it for as long as I had the other 2!)

Hey lovezebs i am good thanks for asking. How about you? I actually was able to check out the pictures, but was too busy to respond. But the pictures were cute and funny! And thanks I always do love pictures. Congrats on the newbies, they look great. The female stars look great, and is that society chestnut? He looks like my Phineas and your Pauly.

Hi Mia.
Not fully coloured yet, they are babies , especially two. I know they are actually sort of peach orangem is thete such a thing as peach/orange stars?

Hi Brian .
Yes, there is one Society in there. It's a girl, and much darker than my Pauly. She's almost black. She was the only Socie left out of a large group that the breeder brought over. Appatantly some fellow came and bought all the others and didn't want her. I wasn't planning on getting anothrr Socie, but couldn't lesve her behind. I need a girl's name that starts with a P, any ideas? My other two Socie girls are named Penny and Pippa.

lovezebs I think piper is a good name.

[MiaCarter]

lovezebs - That's a good question!
I've never really seen such peachy stars. (Granted, I've only seen the yellows on a few occasions, so I'm not sure I'm the best judge! LOL)
But since red+yellow=orange/peach, I imagine it would be possible to achieve.

I vote for Piper! I have a Piper and a Pippin.

[Madcat]

Aww man. I was going say Peaches....oh well. Pretty babies you got there!!!!!

[MiaCarter]

Madcat - I think Peaches is perfect considering their appearance!
Growing up, I knew a girl named Peaches. Poor thing. Not such a good human name but a great bird name! I may just need to add that to my fabulous name list! (Yep, I've got one.)

[Madcat]

MiaCarter I had a dog named Peaches. What a sweetheart she was. That name will bring you good luck for sure!

[lovezebs]

Hi Folks One And All.
I asked Brian for an assist in finding a name for my new Society girl. I think Piper is a perfectly lovely name, so Piper she is.
So now all my Socies have names.
We have, Pauly, Petey, Penny, Pippa (aka Pia sometimes) Pax, Piper, and the one and only....Gimpy.

Thankyou delray

My other new babies still don't have names, so we shall have to think about that. Thankyou all for the name ideas.

lovezebs so glad I could help. Take a look at my recent thread. It's geared towards you and some other member. ;)

I just read this thread! Great find and great finches. I love the little YF Star juvie. She is adorable! The PF was so wet, I couldn't see the colors, but he is a cutie.

Just posted a response and somehow made it disappear... . I'm a magician.
Here we go again...
Yes, the littlest Star is beyond cute. There is just something very appealing about her. I have seen red faced Stars before, and never really cared for them too much, but these guys are really adorable.
As to my little Parrot boy. He's only 3 months old and apparently his colours haven't quite come in yet. He is also the cleanest bird in the world, a real hygiene freak. I have never seen any bird bath so much, not even the Socies.
He is shy and flighty, but that (I hope) will improve somewhat with time.

PF's LOVE their baths! They usually live near water and so they preen and bathe and bathe and preen. I have to change their water three times a day because they use it all for baths! LOL.
