Jack and Jill

This is the house that Jack built. What we are seeing here is only the back wall. The nest goes down and then towards the front.

Jill has spent the last 12 days sleeping in the nest (as well as the entire day) as Jack has been sleeping just above.

This morning, Jack has been going to the edge of the nest but Jill won`t let him in. Could it be?

Do male cubans feed the females on the nest?
If not, this means that I have babies in the nest, he is feeding someone

I will try and get a video

That was super quick! All the best this time

I got a pair at the last fair, mine are still in quarantine but goodness they are so cute - the male is very striking in all his black and yellow

2 eggs this time around, both are fertile

Yes, I put in the divider and peeked

Now, does anyone know if the information on the FIC is correct? It says 12 days and today is day 10

All my finches have been almost dead on exactly to 12 days. I think I had one egg hatch day 14 at the latest. Good Luck and let us know.

Congratulations Janine!!

Just be cautious as Cubans really need their privacy.
