Birthday Birds

Well, it's Lisa's tradition to give a gift that's a little crazy. She gave Tim live crabs one Christmas and this year for my Birthday she gave me the choice of a few different live pets. Oh boy, that was a hard decision. The choices were a chinchilla, a degu or 2 finches. I had really wanted a chinchilla for Nadia to play with until I counted up how much a cage and accessories were going to be. So the finches won - we already had a cage and accessories. So here they are. I had no idea they would be so active. They are so very cute, with their little cheeps and peeps. I like the cheerful noise. They sure are hard to photograph.
