We got her home around a month ago... I like to call her , "her" .. for obvious reasons ;)
She was a tiny little white baby then... so scared , quiet , subdued....
Finches are supposedly quite a cheerful lot and are most of the time bursting with energy....
I did worry and wonder why she was the way she was. I was totally unaware of her being a baby.. the shop guy had not really mentioned it explicitly...chances are maybe he dint know either!
I noticed her every single day .. and as days went by... she looked weirder and i wondered what was going on...n i must admit - i did worry...
I looked closely... and it looked as if she was hurt on her cheeks.. i looked even closer and noticed that she was "hurt" in the exact same way on both her cheeks..
At once i knew i was mistaken... she wasnt hurt....
She was just growing up :)
She was getting her colours...
Everyday we noticed changes in her...
She developed spots on her wings... brown spots....
and her whole body was turning light brown...
And now when u see her.. She has Orange Cheeks and an even brighter orange beak.. with brown wings with white spots on them!!
Ah! What a beauty she is... :)
Just love sitting by the window .. watching her flutter away to glory as she bathes herself in her little bathtub ... going chirp chirp chirp ... :)
I think this is what she's going to eventually look like...
She's already quite close.. :)
Ahh!Watta Beauty! My little brown spotty :)!
