Mia, thanks so much! Cant wait to see it! Kiki will be 4 month on April 5th.... I believe will be timed with end of her moulting.

I almost forgot Kiki was my last baby!! Her 4 siblings didnt make it. When she hatched, I kept telling her "you better make it" I was so afraid to make a mistake that I PM'd you a 100 times a day.... literally. Takes a great person to have patience like you Mia. I know Im not easy when I worry and stress.

I still wonder how the one who had the most odds against her is the one who made it! I remember candling her egg and be able to see her little wing move. I fell in love with her from that moment.

Sandra -- It is pretty incredible that the baby who had the odds against her was the one that survived!

Hey, I'd probably send 100 messages a day if I were you too because 1 mistake is all it takes. They're so darn fragile!
But I don't mind it a bit. It's wonderful having an opportunity to witness the journey of a baby growing up!

Isn't it so special to see them move in the egg? And then you see this grown bird in front of you! It just amazes me!!

I saw my youngest zebra finch fledgling when he was a tiny heartbeat in the egg. Incredible.

Well Sandra, followers agree, you have done something really special and you are yourself special so what I said was not kindness - it was simply the truth!
