Mom and Dad Lady Gouldian finch, babies under them. |
They liked the shredded paper best for nest material. |
Their first clutch was five, second clutch was six. |
Five not long from leaving the nest. |
Fledged and healthy. Colors will change in time. They all love the swing. |
Out of the nest and eating on their own. Still have spots at edges of their mouths. |
These below were raised in an incubator and hand fed to adulthood. |
These two hatched in an incubator. Photo taken shortly after hatching. |
Closer shot of two brand new babies. Other eggs weren't fertile. |
Growing. Stuffed full of hand feeding formula just as their parents would have stuffed them full. |
Showing my feathers coming in. |
An earlier shot before pin feathers started. We've gone from looking like little worms to looking like little frogs. |
A crop feeder would be a better device than an eye dropper with these little guys, but I used what I had. |
We're flying on our own, but love being friendly. |
A hand feeding. We still sleep in a box at this stage, but can fly really well. Continued hand feeding for two more weeks. |

Peace and Blessings.
