I cannot believe what a wonderful job you have done with those babies, I think you are a star - I expect when you finally let them go - they won't leave or at least will come back to visitEverybody's bantams are gorgeous (I love bantams). Teila, my Mum has a large Langshan and she is the sweetest, calmest, most serene bird. Bantam Langshans are few and far between in NZ.
And I loved the cat photos. So gorgeous!
Just wanted to share a few photos of my own. The finches are doing fantastically, though they don't have as many feathers as the older babies did at the same age. I do think their poor mother was doing all the feeding and it being her first time she just couldn't keep up. The baby Bourkes are gorgeous too. It's so hard not to sit and cuddle them all day.
Please excuse dirty faces. The food gets everywhere at feed time (though we are all improving on not getting it quite so far) and I'll think I've managed to wipe them clean, then next feed I'll find heaps I missed which has now set hard as concrete!

Rosie Posie on the left and Pie on the right (named by my DD). They get so cuddly after a feed. Pie was the one getting the lions share of the food in the nest, whereas Rosie is a lot quieter and not nearly as strong. Pie turns into a giraffe at feed time, standing up so tall and he even tries to steal food off Rosie, chirping loudly all the while. At least I can make sure Rosie gets all that she needs. They are both super sweet and now associate me with food. They were a bit scared for the first day especially, but now they guzzle down the food.
