Awwwww, I love finches!!!!

I love seeing everyones nest pictures.......

holy moly- i checked them today when she flew away and there are 6 eggs! in my bird book it says they lay 4-5! and this is after 1 was stolen! when she had 3 for a few days i checked her and there where only 2. my daughter said she saw a blue jay with something in his mouth fly by- so i'm pretty sure he stole an egg. so 6 + the stolen one = 7!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

We have house finches and gold finches come to our feeders. It took a couple of years for the gold finches to come. But this year they have found us and come often. We have a Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal that come everyday. I`m sure they are the same ones. So much fun to watch. Sue

well, there were 6 eggs but only 5 babies. so today we were out walking and just across the street my son saw a baby bird in the street hopping. so i went and picked him up and he looked exactly like ours so i thought one decided to fly to coop! i went up and looked and there were still 5!!!!!!!! so this guy was from somewhere else. i put him up to the nest and he hopped right in. will momma and dad still feed him if he's not theirs??? he's still hanging out up there as of now.

6 baby was there when sun went down! and momma and dad did come and feed the babies today- i'm sure they didn't leave him out. they can't count right? and so with all the little mouths popping up screaming when they come to feed they probably just feed them all! we have adopted another baby! LOL

Fascinating pictures and story, pagarden!

There's nothing like following up on a bird's nest - too sweet!

Thanks for sharing this with us all here!

O how fast they growup. Seems like just days ago they were newborns and now they're out on their own.

A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.

????--- so the momma and dad have still been feeding the babies left. i see them throwing up in their mouths (for lack of better words), but they have been flying away SOOOOO how do the ones that flew know how to get food if the parents still vomit for them??? when i was watching the chipping sparrows i would see the parents bringing worms so i just assumed their bodies were old enough to digest stuff. but the finches don't do that, they regurgitate the food. the babies who fly just have am instinct to find food??? and their bodies just adapt?
