Well the other two didn't waste any time joining in......the photos are in the order they fledged. I did find one egg left in the nest there used to be 2 unhatched eggs. :(

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. :? :?
