Over a year ago i started volenteering at a parrot sanctuary. Last week i was named director..not sure if that's good or not but its nice to know ive done a good job with the parrots. Some come in abused, others abandoned at the gate. Alot abandoned at the gate. Anyways i inquired some finches about a month ago left behind by someone who didnt want them. Jack and jill are doing great! They even gave me a baby! Now im new to all this egg hatching stuff but everything seems to be going ok if you have advice.let me know..heres some pix..im so excited ro be a part of this llittle birds life.

Congratulations, Madame Director!
WOW!
Congratulations on EVERYTHING, in fact!
Very proud to know you.
Except... you gave me FINCH-FEVER! When I see those little cuties, I just WANT 'EM!
 
Fudge! Wish I lived in Florida..I'd just LOVE to give my time helping a parrot rescue/sanctuary!
Everytime Amy and I visit her "buddies" at the local pet store,they always have those tiny little finch guys and gals just flitting about in cages. I always wondered if you could turn them into "companion" birdies..they ARE adorable!
And I agree!! Congrats Ms Director Lady ;)

So cute... but do not forget to put it in a different cage in a few weeks. ;)


Males can start to reproduce as early as 3 months old, the girls at 4.
(Of course every sensible breeder will wait till they are at least a year old before letting them)


And yes- they will (inter)breed with mom/dad/sisters/brothers, they do not care.


I love the mixed-pattern ones, used to have a bunch of them in my aviary.
 
Thanks everyone! Do i really need to remove the little one? Cant i just remove the nest? Im new to this,,but dont want more babies..i only took in jack and jill becuz they were abandoned.
 
Congratulations Maria! You are going to do wonderful work and make a huge difference!!
 
Why cant i just take the nest out..i dont want more cages or babies. Arrggg i only took jjack and jill in cuz they were abandoned..and i thought i could put them with chirpy my beakless sparrow..that didn't work.and thanks everyone im hopeing that my opinion will start to matter at the sanctuary..it needs help.
