Pictures Andy and his Babies

[finchly]

I posted in another thread that I quicked Andy while trimming his nails... his babies fledged this morning and he's tending to them as if his foot never hurt! Thought you might like to see a few photos.

The babies are cute and good that Andy is doing well. Dad and mom have done a good job raising their babies.

Wow, they look good. Will babies grow up to be colorful like parents?

Yes. Gouldians are olive (for green back) or grayish (for blue)... and between 3-8 months they molt into the bright colors. I'll get some shots of the ones molting. They're truly unattractive

I love your birds! Did I see that female Gouldians are almost as beautiful as the males? I never knew that...Also I love your dogs, and your Christmas display with all your pets...I wish I was as talented with the computer as you. I'm afraid I'm still a dinosaur...but I really enjoy what the rest of you all have done for Christmas, I really enjoy seeing your pets. Merry Christmas Tanya, thanks for sharing! Beautiful, beautiful birds!

[finchly]

@Patty Girl Yes! The hens are only slightly less colorful than the males. Thanks for all your kind words. Merry Christmas (even though it passed by 3 hours ago...)

@Sky&Sunshine Thanks!
