Hi Ellen.
Glad things are looking up. Keep offering baths. They love playing and splashing in the water and it's good for them, and fun for you to watch. Beak wiping is normal and all birds do it, so no worries there.
Have you thought of names for your two boys yet?

4Ellen, I was wondering how things were going. I saw you decided not to return the finches...as you've grown attached. I'm happy the beak growth was nothing serious. :D

Corkysgirl... I ended up taking them back. Just one of those things.

Sorry 4Ellen. Did you get the other finches you were hoping to get? I hope you have a better experience the next time. It can be so rewarding living these little guys! But when there's something wrong...everything is upside down! :(
