Billie and BCamp

Post by lovemyfinch » Wed Oct 05, 2011 5:14 pm

Here they are those 2 very special babies, yes extra special because this is the first time that my OWLS have decided to raise from day 1 =D> =D> =D> =D>

I do have one question to ask?
Is it my imagination :oops: or is it at all possible that the little one on the left is a fawn?

You might need to wait another few days for them to develop a little more. Whatever they are - they are too cute!

Now go put them back!! 8) [-X

The one on the left does look lighter, but look at this photo of two of mine, the one on the left is the fawn. Not only is the body much lighter, but the beak is much lighter and stays lighter. I'd also give them a few more days--this photo is probably at 4-5 days of age.

Whichever, they are adorable, and Bill must be looking down smiling at them.

Thanks everyone :D
Yes, Liz I did put them right back after the photo ops :wink:
These little ones were born Sept 29th and 30th.....I think the second was born the 30th. :wink: Which makes them 8 and 7 days old. To be banded on Friday =D> =D> =D> When I will try and get better pics. [-o<
