Cloud and Domino's Baby Is Doing Fine :-)

I'm happy to report that Cloud and Domino's baby -- the one I found with its leg stuck in the vent hole of the nest box -- is doing fine, and so is its sibling.  The parents didn't get upset that I had to alter their nest a little and replace some of the nesting materials.  :-)

So far both babies are dark-colored, so they'll probably look a lot like their dad, who's a black-cheek normal gray.  (The mom is white in color.)

Still no hatchlings under my M/M society pair.  I haven't candled the eggs again as of yet, but two of the eggs were viable last time I checked.  They're not overdue yet, so I'll give them a few more days and see what happens.

My non-incubating M/M pair seems to have FINALLY started sitting on the fake eggs.  I'll keep an eye on them for a day or two longer to make sure they're REALLY incubating, and if they are, Breeze and Sprinkles (zebra finches) have several eggs that they're ignoring.

And my M/M/M society trio is still incubating the zebra eggs I put under them a few days ago.  I haven't candled them yet since it's probably too soon to tell anything.
