Is this beast a baby sparrow?? (Bob and Cede)

j@utis

they rarely get to the floor of the cage and it gets filthy fairly quick, so I might try that sandpaper type brach and see how it works.

before I used a little inside the cage bath and Bob would wash his face and chest in it but it was too small for all bird to get in. later I bought this outside the cage type one and CeDe got into into it straight away but Bob wouldn't. He just sits on the edge of it looking inside but won't jump in. Can it be due to the color of the bath? the small one is white and new one is black? I always put some sand on the bottom of the cage, I've noticed them eating it, yummy

Have not heard in a bit now as to how Bob and CeDe are getting on.

Any chance of an update as it is a great story.

They seem to be getting on well enough, attack each other every now and then , don't know if this is normal.cede seems to wait until bob is asleep then bites him. Only seen this once though. Looking to see if i can find any sound tracks of goldfinch singing to improve bob's . We were thinking of getting another bird maybe a white canary ,i saw a java finch today that i was going to get but was talked out of it lol,to hyper he was . We got a webcam to record bob's singing.

Don't Hummingbirds spent a lot of time feeding?

I saw a Siskin in the garden for the first time, it was accompanied by a Redpoll. My solo Starling returned with a pal and were able to perch on my feeder. It really brightenned my day and cheered me up, my cat unfortunately died at the vets in the early afternoon.

peasey

very enjoyable thread well done!!

could thread be stickied?

iamfromcork

Bob and cede are doing well. We've moved house which is why no new post. He seems to like it, South facing window and plenty of flying place, cede still stares at the wall so nothing new there. Looking out for a female goldfinch but they seem to be rare enough in ireland anyone know of any can you pm me or email at iamfromcork@gmail.com .Thanks

p.s I'll post some more pics

Judgement Day

Is CeDe going to be happy sharing Bob?

iamfromcork
