Need help identifying this chick.

Post by Pukasand » Fri Sep 30, 2011 2:57 pm

Everyone in the aviary seems to be drawn to it, but no one seems to be taking credit! :shock: My 'Auntie Cordon' nurtures and adopts any chick she can, so this chick will definately not be abandoned. I'm thinking it could possible be (another) Firefinch, but it doesnt look like the other chicks they've had. Then, perhaps it could be an Owl, that would be awesome, since they havent given me any live young yet. And the best possible outcome would be that it's a Strawberry (oh, please! oh, please! oh, please!). Any opinions? :roll:

Yup, I think your correct, Chase. I just saw another chick sharing a perch with it. Now they do look like more Fires. I wish my other birds were as prolific. Shoot! I was so hoping for Owls or Berries. The Fires have taken over the Aviary. Everyone seems to be having trouble getting them to breed, I"m having trouble getting them to STOP. :P

Thanks for the 'congrats', Tracy. Yes, unidentified chicks are always wonderful, and a nice surprise.
