EWW...oh....I mean....AWW
« on: March 19, 2008, 08:46:31 PM »
I have a baby finch!  Hatched this AM!  I looked in there (shoulda been 5 eggs but I didn't think they were due to hatch til Saturday) and only saw 4 eggs and something moldy.
 
The moldy thing was a chick HAHAHA.
 
It's a little bigger than a pencil eraser, pink, and has a fuzzy grey mohawk (hence the mold, um, confusion).  It's blind and when you tap around the nest it gapes open it's tiny beak and flops its pink tongue with a black spot on the end around.
 
I can't get a decent picture.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

they are Zebra finches, I love them  !!!!
I had one for the longest time, we called him spitball.
Spitball lived for like 10 years and had several wives.
They used to raise babies all the time and I would give them away or sell them to pet stores.
I used to love watching them make nests !
