Yep I see four, and all fathered by my favorite daddy Pim! Now get BB over here so she can wingslap Brat in the back of the head and teach her some mommy skills! :evil:

Hey girl, Goodmorning.

Hope your feeling better today (?)

Both Pim, and BB, are being wonderful so far, for first time parents, one couldn't ask for better.

A lot of the time they sit on their egg babies together, both day and night, only coming out (one at a time, for a quick snack and stretch). They sit in their nest box, murmuring to each other softly, which is really quite sweet.

Although, I don't know Pim's back ground, he's a patient, gentle natured bird boy. BB, is one of my kids, raised by her parents (Tiny and Sharra), who are excellent parents, so she learned from the best.

As for a good wing-slapping, you would have needed my Canary Mama Sofia (who passed away recently). She was definitely not shy about handing out some of that, when she thought Luciano, wasn't attentive enough (which he was btw).

Hi Babsi.
Sofia, was Luciano's lady. He is now a widower, with four grown up kids.

They are both being extremely caring and attentive to their egg babies. Most of the time, they sit together in the nest both day and night.

My one concern, is that they started sitting tight very early, so there might be some large size differences between say baby #1 and baby #5 (if they all hatch [if any of them hatch] :-))

KEEP YOUR TOES CROSSED!

Hello Fellow Fincheroos

Start handing out the cigars folks, we have bambinos in the nest.

Cage cleaning today, I decided to take a peek in the little nestbox, and guess what I found ? :-)
