Just a quickie update, I haven’t had a chance to do anything much with the site lately. Things are a little chaotic, birds, birds, everywhere!
Baby and friends managed to hatch Herbie’s babies, they’re nearly ready to leave the nest. One pearl pied, one normal, one who’s feathers aren’t quite through yet; he looks like he’s going to be a pearl pied too, but unlike our others, he has a yellow crest.
We’ve got two normal zebra finch babies and two fawn, both pairs cute!
We also hatched seven canary chicks, but only two have survived 
Oh well, two is better than nothing for my first breeding season in years. I think there’s either a genetic problem with the parents -or- they’re related. Either way, I won’t be breeding from them again. One got squashed by his siblings, the youngest. The parents stopped feeding the others.
To top things off, Zorro and Loony hatched two chicks then abandoned them, I think he was unnerved by the high winds and bad weather we’ve had. We have no other chicks of the same age, so we’ve got to hand feed them. It’s the first time I’ve ever hand fed and they were about two days old when I found them. We’ve got them through a whole week, so fingers crossed!
Grr. It’s come to my attention that the site’s giving problems. If you can view my site, yay for you! I’m surprised I’m having issues, normally Freeola’s pretty good. I’ll give them a few days then get in touch.
Thanks for reading!
