Arrival

I have experience hand raising finches, so a friend who raises beautiful finches, gave us a hatchling of Java Sparrow a couple of weeks ago.  I love baby birds.  You think puppies are cute?  Look again my friends!!

He's probably about a week old here.  I had just brought him home as a surprise for the kids, and he hadn't been named yet.  Those yellow dots around his neck are seeds.  We'd just fed him some dinner, so he is full and content :)

Below is a video of him learning to eat.
