The Finches have now produced, and alternately sit upon, two eggs. I've been warned, by the neighbor who gave me the female, that the eggs might not be fertile. What! Something not fertile in MY house? Impossible. There is a powerful and affecting love between the two birds. The bird lover journal keeper who used to be here moved to a private blog; when she was here it was birds birds birds. The birds I believe were a refuge from a beastly husband, I think. Or, substitute, as they were no longer together. Come to think of it, she never mentioned her birds, of which there were plenty, at any time as laying eggs. Not happy in marriage, she maybe took pity on her birds and kept them unmarried. No?

Yeay, two eggs... so how long is gestation? Can you take pictures and post, or would that disturb the parent birds? What does your 4 year old think of all this? Those must be a couple of very tiny eggs. bea
