Finches! And Sora!



Messy eater finch.

(And, alas, looking at its leg, it may also have avian pox. Have not seen the other one in several days, and fear the worst.)




Fluffy finch!




Grumpy finch and loud finch!




Wacky finch!




Suspicious finch!




Finch-watching feline! also: long tail is long!

Avian pox? I did not know such a thing existed.

I didn't either until I posted a picture of the other finch and movingfinger told me. And then I looked it up and learned more. :)

I believe I am going to be doing the same!

It's both interesting and AUGH POOR THINGS! But it seems that it *is* survivable if the bird gets enough to eat and it doesn't attack the eyes, nose, and throat. I've just seen leg infections around here, so I hope the bird feeder is doing some good!

Yeah, I suspect helping them stay fed and bleaching the feeders does a lot of good.
