And The Day Has Arrived

The day has arrived, the hatching has come and gone. And we have four baby Red Liprochrome canaries. Four little wiggling bodies poke their heads up to be fed. Bright red bodies with spiked white mohawks.
This morning we heard tap, tap, tap, and the mama and papa stood looking from the edge of the nest. They knew that all the hard work of nest sitting had paid off and their little chicks were about to make their entrance into the world. Sure enough by the end of the day all four had wormed their way from the little speckled egg.
Mama and papa were clearly excited and rushed from perch to perch and peared into the nest.
