I was in the aviary late afternoon and the Java mother popped out (I was moving something which she didn't like) so I had to peek. Two babies had hatched and one was still sitting in the bottom of its shell! So cute and ugly. I didn't have my phone unfortunately, plus it was a bit dark to take a photo, and I wanted Mama finch to get back to them. But it did look so cute.
Then we had a good thunderstorm with hail and very heavy rain. We hardly ever have thunder here so that was fun. I stood out on the front step (it is covered) and watched. We get sheet lightening here and it lit up the whole sky.

I checked on the Java chicks this morning, waited until the day had warmed up a bit then had a peek. Two chicks squished (mashed really) and two chicks still alive, but one is missing toes on one foot!!! I give up!!!
