This is the result of two clutches that are fully weaned and on their own (with each other) now. Just waiting to see how many boys and how many girls we end up with.

They are beautiful I just hope that my turn is around the corner

Thanks Janine. The mother laid another egg today but I'm insisting she take a well deserved break for a while now.

I'm sure your GS's will be fine and do you proud this time. I just had to back off and give them plenty of privacy. Mine seem to be a nervous group of fids - even the babies. Took a long time to get them to settle on the perch for the photo-op.

It can't get any better.
I'm still waiting for my first chick this season. One egg is fertile and due to hatch in about a week now and I don't need to worry about the picking with webcam.

They are beautiful Liz Makes me want to get some more someday, I had them years ago and loved them I also miss the open nest breeders.............

Thanks ikhom and Candace. I just can't get over how fidgity / nervous the young ones are when I come near. You would think being cage bred, they'd get use to people. But noooo, their parents trained them well! Real well!

nice birds liz

Great pictures of your juvies, Liz! They look wonderful!

Thank you Mahfuz and Sally - it's great hearing them all sing... well okay maybe not all - who knows?! But it sounds cool!

Cartel - I would love for that to be right but I heard that we have to wait until the males second moult to know for sure. I'd love to know for sure right now!

I know you have to wait, just rolling the the dice... When exactly did you put bands on these guys and what size?

Gorgeous, Liz!

I wish you could upload us a sound byte of them all singing together -- I had a beautiful green singer when I first bought finches (about 3 years ago) but he died from unknown causes and I was never able to hear him sing.
