New baby pictures

The normal scarlets are back in the nest.  Red and Scarlet has 5 fertile eggs.  Coral and Blush also have at least 5 eggs, not sure how many are fertile since Blush is sitting very tight.

Still having new species of finches raising babies - split to fawn owl male with normal hen pair has 5 fertile eggs, purple grenadier have laid eggs (fingers definitely crossed), a pair of red faced stars hatched 2 babies, various societies are raising babies, and the white javas have laid eggs again.  The sea green parrot finch pair have been very prolific.  They've already fledged 7 babies from 2 clutches already.  The red faced parrot finch pair have finally finished molting - seems to be interested in the nests now.  The forbes pair isn't having great luck - they chose a nest right next to the stars and are being chased away often.  I will let them try again since the stars are busy feeding their babies, but may have to give them their own flight cage to breed in.
