PONCHO AND LEFTY

I am sorry to say that Leftina has gone to Rainbow Bridge,

where she will fly around free to her hearts content.

.

But poor Poncho was sad, all alone in his cage.

.

So meet his buddy Lefty.

Lefty is the one that is mostly white with tan markings.

Quite different I thought.

I do not know if you can see it, but Lefty has a sort of punk rock hair-do on top of his head that I just love. Lefty is a Society finch.

.

Poncho is a Gouldian finch. He is the one with all the bright colors.

.

I am pretty sure Lefty is a boy, by the way they hang out together.

They do seem like good buddies.

.

I have 2 videos, I just wish I also had sound,

as the little sounds and chirps they make constantly is just so nice to listen to.

.

The long white dish you see in the middle, on the floor, is a dish I found that is just perfect as a bath, and everytime I put their bath out, they get very active.

It is fun to watch.

I still have not been able to catch them bathing.

.

The second video they have calmed down some.

Poncho and Leftina - share a nest

What a pretty bird Poncho is. But where is Leftina?

Here I am.

Nitey-nite little ones.

We have new bird buddies....

Gianna here. Mom and Dad just came back with a gift for me - more bird friends.

Mom assured me they weren't statues, even though it has been over an hour and they have not moved.

Here are some pictures.

My Dad named them Poncho and Lefty.

That's Poncho on the right. He's a male Gouldian finch.

This is Lefty, a society finch. Mom's not sure if he is a boy or a girl yet. They told her at the store, if it sings it is a boy.
