Are they a proven pair? Any chicks yet?

I can definitely see the difference between their cheeks.

Yes, they are a proven pair. No chicks (by now), but he sings all the day, and she lays many (unfertile #-o )eggs. Let's wish in future!

Hate to tell you this Linda, but you are responding to posts that are 6 years old. These members may or may not be on the Forum any more.

Always a good idea to check the dates at the right hand corner of the post. Also you can check the status of Members, by going into their profile, and checking the last date they visited the Forum. That will give you a pretty good idea, if they are still active or not.

Orange cheeks, are notoriously difficult to sex. With my two as well, one has an orange tushy, and one has no colour tushy. Hard to tell with these little guys, until someone lays an egg :-).

When responding to an old post, doesn't it bring the topic up to the front though so that someone can answer? TY for sharing

linda2463 Yes, when you respond to an old topic it puts it on the top of the board (as the board is done by date, so the most recent posts are at the top) So you answering this post put it up like 3rd down on the "Species" board so it looks like a new topic (I learned the hard way to ALWAYS check the dates) so while I was reading this thread I saw how old it was, but any thread with photos I LOVE. And OC's are so freakin' cute... i just can't resist them... Aw...I dream of one day having my own place, with a bird room, or aviary.... i can't wait.... anyway... The reason I posted is I wanted to ask you how you found this post... as it is 6 years old... were you just browsing and didn't realize how MUCH you had browsed? Just curious. Thanks!!
