Me a daddy? YUP!

I just found out the news and I couldn't be happier. I'm going to be a father!

Well... kinda. Actually, my beautiful white Zebra Finches layed and egg and soon there will be the pitter patter and flutter of a little finch in my house.

I hope it has my eyes! (...or my ass.)

How great!

As a parent to big flock of cockatiels I say congrats! Don't forget to do a little research on the proper hatching raising, and feeding of the new kids! First time parents often need help.

Is the female really sitting on the egg or are you just kidding about the egg hatching?

I've been doing lots of reading on finches. I figured that there was an egg on the nest when the parents started getting very territorial around the nest. Then they would spend most of the day in there. I waited until they were out one day and checked it out. Yup... there was 1 egg. It takes 14 days before the egg hatches... if it's healthy, non-damaged egg. I'm not sure how far along it is right now. At least a week for sure! So for now, they take turns with the egg. Funny, the male finch seems to spend a lot more time sitting on it. I can't wait to have my first baby!!!
