Bird news

Well, only one of the three babies survived. We decided to call him/her Vinny. She/he is about four or five months old now. Vinny is a pearl just like Deanna, our nine month old baby from the same pair. Sky died about two months after Vinny was born. Emmett died right after Halloween. We now have four eggs. One cockatiel and three finch. Rocky and Molly, two normal grey tiels that we took in, already had an egg when we got them but that one didnt make it so I threw it away and took the nesting box out because its not the right time for babies even though we have had babies during the winter. But they had laid another egg last night and were "doing the deed" this morning so I put the egg in the box and replaced it. I would've thrown it away but they would've replaced it. Now Molly is sitting on it constantly.

Bonnie and Clyde, one of the pairs of finches we also took in along with the tiels, had four eggs when we got them but all of them fell out of the nest. I didnt take it out and now they have three eggs but arent sitting on them constantly. Ozzy and Harriett are our other pair of finches. They had five babies recently but threw them in the water dish and drowned them. We still need names for Elvis the canary's little friends. These two were left outside during this year's heat spell and weren't being taken care of properly so we rescued them and they are doing well. We were told they were both females but one of them has been singing like a male so we think she is actually a he.
