Two new zebra finch babies hatched yesterday, finally! I'm hoping the third egg will hatch today. The parents (Cloud and Domino) are young, and this is their very first time being parents, but so far, so good! Sometimes first-time parents don't know how properly incubate, and even if the chicks hatch, sometimes they don't understand how to feed the chicks, so there's always a chance things could go wrong. So far they've done an outstanding job. :-)
I moved Blackie in with a new mate yesterday morning since he was picking on his and Onyx's unweaned youngster, and Onyx is continuing to feed the baby. Blackie and his new mate (Quartz) aren't totally crazy about each other yet, but hopefully they'll grow on each other.
Freckles and Copper are new cagemates as well. They make a GORGEOUS pair, and they've already hit things off nicely with each other. :-)
