• I can hear the lovely little beeping sounds of my finches.  I cannot tell you how absolutely delightful the little critters are.  I simply adore them.

  

  Silly that all four of them crammed themselves into one nest! Now, they have more or less paired off and have chosen their own nests.  Maybe someday (like in the spring) they will lay eggs and hatch some babies.

  The other day when I was cleaning the cage, two of the finches flew out.  We caught them pretty quickly, in about 5 mins.  I was delighted to actually catch and hold a finch in my hand.  They are way smaller to hold than they look, they truly can fit in the palm of my hand with my fingers curled over the top...And they weigh so little!

  I love my finches!
