Update: Yeah!! Babies!!

Post by FinchLover&Breeder » Sun Dec 10, 2017 10:45 pm

Hey guys quick update. (sorry I've been off so long.) It's almost that time of year again for seasons greetings and good cheer. Do me a favor and post your Christmas stories and songs.
Now to the actual response to my title. My babies are doing good. They have gotten quite big and right now their feathers are all white except for their head which is kinda blackish. They are still begging for food but parents don't feed as much anymore and I'm hoping that they fledged the nest soon. I can;t wait to see them flying around.
Hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Nick and Fraser,

Here's something I wrote a few years back for the Forum.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of it :D ....


SAID THE CAMERA TO THE LITTLE FINCH, DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

Said the camera to the little Finch, do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Way up in your nest, little Finch...
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Some eggs, some eggs, sleeping in the nest...
They will bring us pretty baby birds...
They will bring us pretty baby birds...

Said the Finch to the Giant human being,
Get away from my nest , get away from my nest...
It's my nest, giant human being,
Get away from my nest, get away from my nest...
Get your own, giant human being...
Get away from my nest, get away from my nest...
These eggs, these eggs, they are not your own...
They will bring us pretty baby birds...
They will bring us pretty baby birds...

Said the giant to the Finch Forum...
Look at all these pretty eggs, look at all these pretty eggs...
Come from Finches friendly Finch Forum...
Look at all these pretty eggs, look at all these pretty eggs...
A Finch , a Finch laid them in the nest....
They will bring us pretty baby birds...
They will bring us pretty baby birds.

Pray for healthy chicks, Finch Forum...
Many, many pretty chicks, many, pretty chicks...
Pray for health, kindly Finch Forum...
Many, many healthy chicks, many, many healthy chicks...

Those babes, those babes, sleeping in those eggs,
They will bring us happiness and joy...
They will bring us happiness and joy.

God bless us everyone.... :-)

That's great! Now I'm thinking of my society finch Laser singing "Sleigh Ride" in his high-pitched robotic voice for some reason.

Glad you guys enjoyed it.

A Society singing Christmas Carols while all puffed up like a pear (or a Patridge in a Pear Tree) would be awesome.

As for Zebras, they are adorable Babsi, you should try one, or two, or a bakers dozen teh-he-heh :twisted: .

I just want to hold them and cuddle with them but I think the parents know what I'm thinking so they give me the look. Also on Thursday or Friday I might have a delivery of Meal-worms coming in at the local ace from their cricket guy. Do finches and cockatiels like meal-worms?
