Having problems with my photo editor. Adding the photos to Picasa Web Albums.
Click the image to see the photos. Will update once a week until they are fully fledged, and next in about 5-6 months when they color. I will also update with photos if and when the other pair lay eggs and hopefully hatch them.


5-26-08 All five chicks doing well. Can definetly tell the two hatch dates. 61 and 62 hatched first, 63-65 hatched next. Size difference isn't big, but apparent.

Bird 91 Look at all those pin feathers on it's back!!




Bird 92 These are blurry, sorry


Bird 93


Look closely here, I'm pointing to the purple breast feathers just coming in. This is the last chick to color out.


Bird 94 My biter. This bird also is an escape artist, give it a chance and it will fly out of it's cage. It is the solo finch in the fledgling photos.
