Now They Look Like Birds, Not Dinosaurs


   Deuce is still pulling 24/7 solo duty with his babies, and doing a great job. The threesome stay huddled in the nest, but no longer resemble Jurassic Park velociraptor dinos. They have fluffy starter feathers, and are beginning to get the classic zebra finch speckled tail. 


   What's really neat is that two of them are a darkish gray, and one is almost silver, so it will be fun to watch them grow and change. Apparently the males are not born with the trademark orange spot on the cheeks, so we won't know for some time what combination of genders we have. Guess I'll wait to decorate the nursery...
