Re: baby birds I brought to the last meeting

[Kate Breimayer <kate@munat.com>]

They are gouldian finches. I think they were just a few days old at the 
last meeting. Here is how they look today:

The yellow with the vein on the left bird's chest is the crop, where 
they pack in a ton of food every few hours and store it til it passes to 
their stomachs. When I brought them to the last meeting they were tiny. 
I didn't show everyone as I wasn't really sure it was good for them and 
I didn't really know if they would make it. One didn't but these two 
look strong enough. I am a little worried about the runty one.
