To all of you who followed the story of Max and Kelsey ....http://www.finchforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34925,
there is an interesting follow up.
Max and Kelsey did appear to bond to some degree and spend time together. Kelsie however, was forever laying empty eggs and really wanted to be a Mama bird.
Well, when a very handsome Chocolate Self Socie gent came our way, little Kelsey was smitten, poor girl.
Seeing as she is somewhat handicapped, I really didn't think that it would be a good idea to pair them up, but some powers had other plans.
When the dark handsome Socie came home with me, so did a sweet Zebra with a crippled foot, who is older and can't fly very well.
It seemed like a perfect companion for Max, but what then to do with Kelsie who sat down and laid yet another empty egg?
The thought popped into my mind, and an extra cage was found and furnished, and before I knew it there they were together at last
.They took to their nest very quickly, but I thought nothing of it until today when I was cleaning their cage. For once Kelsie was out of the nest, and guess what?
Two lovely chubby very well fed Chocolate self babies met my eyes
and not brand new either.Those two darling birds must have kept their secret for what must be close to two weeks.
Pictures to follow.
