Hooray!

Hooray! One of the baby canaries is out of the nest.

I didn't see when or how it happened. I just discovered the little guy sitting on the floor of the cage in the late morning.

As the day went on, he hopped around the bottom of the cage and when the parents fed him, his little wings went '90 to nothin' as they filled his beak. It hasn't hopped onto the lowest perch yet but it did stand on the foot rest of the seed cup for a while.

It has the same shade of light brown of the mother bird. The two babies still in the nest seem to have the darker color of the father, but they huddle together in such a way its hard to tell one from the other. They fill the nest and its only a matter of a day before another leaves the nest.
