Updated on my Finches

[summert85]

**Hello All again,

I just wanted to update you all who care to read this that my second pair Zebs now has fours eggs. And the female has improve her time on sitting the eggs. But not that much. She would sit on them and the male would come and bug her. Sometimes she'll get up and leave for 3 mins and return. Not sure if this is normal. But the sitting is not constantly like my other pair who also has four eggs. I was thinking maybe since I brought the male from a local pet store. Probably he too young. this might be his first clutch and so still learning. Hopefully the female will show him. And for me to have a success with this clutch. **fingers CROSS** I'll keep yal posted and oh thanks for those who give me great advice. Yal are very helpful. ^)^ I'm super duper exciting cant wait to see the babies.

Of course it's normal when she leaves the nest because when the male comes in then the female would thinks its time off, just like a lunch break, she would eat, preen, and maybe just sit and relax.
then she would go back to work and sit even when the male is in.
and hopefully they're all fertile.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Congrats!!! I hope all of the eggs hatch!
I love the little finch peeps they make! After these eggs (hopefully) hatch and the babies are weaned, I would start looking for a bigger cage where they can have a bit more flying space. Just my two cents! :)
Good luck!
