One of Tangerine and Echo's babies fledged today. Cute l'il booger! :-) The other should be out of the nest literally "any minute" now.
Frostie and Streak's five babies are doing well, and so are Smudge and Onyx's three babies. The baby dove is growing like a weed, and the parents have started weaning him/her.
We went to move the two cages of canaries to the bird room earlier, since some space has opened up, but when we went to move the cage with the yellow canaries, I was surprised to find that they're on eggs! I knew she'd been sitting on the nest a lot, but when I'd looked before, I didn't see any eggs. The reason they were "invisible" is that they're virtually the same color as the nesting materials, and even have little speckles on them, so they blended right in! I saw four eggs for sure. Wish I knew how long ago she laid them. Hopefully we'll have some baby canaries soon. If so, this will be the first time we've had canary babies. :-)
