My mexican house finch babies left the nest today! Well, they got forcibly evicted by a zebra finch but they're plenty big enough to look after themselves bar the seed eating so it's all cool!
I've called them Pancho and Sergio - mexican names - as mum and dad are called Emilio and Jaunita. Seemed fitting!
I think the zebs must have been trying to get in their nest for quite some time as Pancho has some toes missing... I think prehaps they got pulled off when he was teeny. But he's ok, a bit slippy when he lands but he'll get used to it pretty quickly.
Now I'm gunna stop chatting and post some pictures!! Wheeeey!! They are sooooooo cute!
