Sherry,
That is so funny because I gave up on my OCW's, but this week my Spice hatched two eggs! I was so surprised. They are so cute. Good Luck with the rest of your finches.

My Spice Finches just fly back and forth. The males sing to the females but they just fly away....They play with nesting materials but never attempt to make a nest. :? :?
