New addition

[Mariar]

Over a year ago i started volenteering at a parrot sanctuary. Last week i was named director..not sure if that's good or not but its nice to know ive done a good job with the parrots. Some come in abused, others abandoned at the gate. Alot abandoned at the gate. Anyways i inquired some finches about a month ago left behind by someone who didnt want them. Jack and jill are doing great! They even gave me a baby! Now im new to all this egg hatching stuff but everything seems to be going ok if you have advice.let me know..heres some pix..im so excited ro be a part of this llittle birds life.

WOW!

Very proud to know you.

Fudge! Wish I lived in Florida..I'd just LOVE to give my time helping a parrot rescue/sanctuary!
Everytime Amy and I visit her "buddies" at the local pet store,they always have those tiny little finch guys and gals just flitting about in cages. I always wondered if you could turn them into "companion" birdies..they ARE adorable!
And I agree!! Congrats Ms Director Lady

So cute... but do not forget to put it in a different cage in a few weeks.


Males can start to reproduce as early as 3 months old, the girls at 4.
(Of course every sensible breeder will wait till they are at least a year old before letting them)


And yes- they will (inter)breed with mom/dad/sisters/brothers, they do not care.


I love the mixed-pattern ones, used to have a bunch of them in my aviary.
