Kelly’s Rehab in Progress: One Step at a Time 💛

After her attack in March last year left her wing badly damaged, Kelly has come such a long way. Her feathers have finally grown back, and her tatty tail feathers need to moult out; but now comes the hard part — rebuilding her perching skills and muscle strength so she can fly again. It’s a slow and steady journey, but she’s got all the love, patience, and millet motivation she needs to get there.

Every little victory counts, and in two days she’s got so much more confidence back and made so much progress. Even though it’s clearly tiring work for her! I couldn’t be prouder of her progress so far. Keep going, Kelly we’re all rooting for you here at Finch HQ. 💛

The Bin Raiding Bandits Strike Again! 🚨🐦

I turn my back for one second, and guess what? The bin raiding crew is at it again! Feathers flying, sneaky beaks digging — these little troublemakers just can’t resist a good rummage. Honestly, with the dedication they put into this, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start their own seed recycling service next! 😅

I’m also starting to feel like my rescue beepers never listen to me as no matter how many times I say “out of the bin NOW!” I get ignored and they carry on regardless. 🙈

Bedtime Dynamics: Sunny, Rusty, and Nellie’s Evening Rituals 🌙🐦

As night falls, Sunny and Rusty often snuggle up together, sharing a perch and showcasing their close bond. Nellie (not pictured), embracing her independent spirit, sometimes joins them but occasionally opts for her own space, perching solo for the night like she did last night. 🥺

This balance between companionship and individuality highlights the unique dynamics within our feathered family. 🥰

Canaries are social creatures, yet they also value their personal space unlike the zebra finches that must SQUISH. 😅

Providing multiple perching options allows them all to choose their preferred sleeping arrangements each night, ensuring they all feel secure and comfortable. 💛🧡

Sunshine, Snoozes, and Foraging Fun: A Perfect Day for Roma, Dale, Nancy, and Martie ☀️😴🍗

Yesterday, our feathered friends enjoyed basking in the warm sunshine, indulging in leisurely snoozes, and exploring a foraging toy shaped like a turkey dinner. This engaging toy provided both mental and physical stimulation, allowing them to tap into their natural foraging instincts. It was heartwarming to see them interact with the toy, showcasing their curiosity and intelligence - and of course hunting out the treats. 😅

Note: Foraging toys are excellent tools to enrich a bird’s environment, promoting natural behaviours and preventing boredom. While specific turkey dinner-shaped foraging toys may not be widely available, there are numerous foraging toys designed to challenge and entertain birds. Always ensure that any toy introduced is safe and appropriate for your bird’s size and species.

New Perch, New Shenanigans! 🐦😅

I introduced a new, bigger perch yesterday, thinking it would give everyone more space. But of course, Roma and Chipette decided that perching is a team sport and squished together for bedtime anyway! Meanwhile, Martie and Dale opted out of the cuddle fest, choosing instead to showcase their impressive tails. 😅

Not to be outdone, JJ struck a pre-squish pose, flaunting his gorgeous black cheeks and bright red beak. Who knew that a new perch could lead to such a display and shenanigans? 😍😅

Can you tell which of the two boys (showing their tails off) are which, in the middle?

Mr. Martie and His Distinguished Eyebrows ✨🐦

Martie isn’t just a bird — he’s a gentleman with the most distinguished white feather eyebrows in the flock. Whether he’s bossing everyone around, stealing millet, or giving me attitude, those brows make sure he always looks important while doing it. A true icon! 🤍😆

I’m also being told off for laughing at him as I can’t quite unsee the meme of the muppet with the big eyebrows (also attached)! 🤣

Also apologies for the lack of posts over the last few days, I’ve been feeling really dizzy, sick and exhausted, and not really felt like staring at my phone much. Frankly all I’ve wanted to do is sleep and it’s took a lot of help from my boyfriend to keep Finch HQ ticking over in the background while I feel so poorly. 😔

Rusty, the OG Songbird (and Aspiring Car Alarm) 🎤🚗

Rusty is in full performance mode today — serenading Nellie and Sunny, battling the zebra finches for the loudest beak in the house, showing off to the wild finches through a pane of glass and, of course, doing his impressive car alarm impressions. 🚨🎶

Somewhere in between, I swear he’s saying Wigglytuff in his pre-song warmups. At this point, he’s not just a songbird — he’s an entire soundboard. My eardrums may never recover. 😂🙈🙉

DJ JJ on the perch, dropping beats and eating treats 🎤🔥

Martie, JJ, and Bonnie might be posing, but let’s be real — JJ looks like he’s about to drop the hottest single of the year! 🎶😎 With Martie on backup vocals and Bonnie bringing the sass, this trio is serving serious superstar vibes. Stay tuned for DJ JJ’s debut album: Beaks & Beats! 🎧✨

Mucky Beak Monday!

JJ and Martie are at it again, turning early morning veggies into a full-on messy masterpieces! 🌽🍃

After a delicious serving of seeds and sweetcorn, their beaks ended up showing the evidence of their tasty adventures. Who knew little birds could make such a big mess? 🤣 But we love their messy beak and all the energy and charm that comes with it! 💕

A New Bond After Heartbreak 💛

Nancy and Drew have found comfort in each other after sadly both losing their mates — Nancy lost Ted in November, and Drew lost Tear in January. Now, they’ve formed a sweet little duo, often seen cuddling and keeping each other company. 🥰

It’s clear they feel happy and comfortable in each other’s presence, bringing warmth and reassurance after heartbreak. Grief is heavy, even for the smallest hearts, but it’s beautiful to see them finding love and companionship again. Finch friendships are truly something special. 💕

Fittingly, they were named after my favourite books and TV show as a child — Nancy Drew — and just like their namesake, these two are full of adventure, mystery, and of course, a little bit of mischief! 😅☺️

Home Sweet Home! ❤️🐦

After a week away with family, I’m finally back at Finch HQ with my little chaos goblins — and I’ve missed them so much! Of course, they’ve been absolute angels for my boyfriend while I was gone. No tantrums, no perch battles, no dramatic seed-related breakdowns. Just sweet, “well-behaved” little birds.

…Or so he says.

Because the second I walked through the door, Martie hit me with the cold wing, JJ suddenly couldn’t look me in the eye (which is suspicious at best), and Roma immediately started yelling at me like I personally ruined her entire week after being told off by my boyfriend today for not going back in the cage for bed time like a good little zebra finch. And apparently, JJ had actually been a little terror for his dad all day by just playing up and p**ping on him flying past — which explains the guilty avoidance. 🫣

I’ve only been back minutes, and the chaos is already back in full swing. Honestly though, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💕

Roma & Chipette: Gossip, Spa Day & Snacks! ✨💦🌙

After a whole day yesterday causing chaos and enjoying not one, not two, but THREE very splashy baths, Roma and Chipette have settled in for a cosy perch snuggle and some serious girl talk. The hot topic? Martie and JJ of course! Whatever those two boys have been up to, you can bet Roma and Chipette will have opinions. 🤭

Naturally, all this gossiping works up an appetite — so a cheeky snack before bed was absolutely necessary. Gossiping, mischief, spa days, and snacks? These two have perfected the art of living their best lives! 🥰

Their dad also got shouted at for the p**py perch which will be cleaned tomorrow on their scheduled cleaning day. 🙈💩

Roma: The Squish Magnet! 🥰✨

A new squish pile has formed, and surprise, surprise (not) — Roma is at the centre of it! Everyone just has to be next to her, which means bedtime now involves a very squished (but very cosy) row of feathery fluffs.

Roma has officially become the most sought-after snuggle buddy at Finch HQ! The squish pile just keeps growing, and it’s clear no one wants to be left out. Meanwhile, JJ down below is clearly wondering when his turn is! 🤭

Who could resist a Roma cuddle? Apparently, not a single finch in this house! She might be grieving Ozzie, but she’s definitely not alone — her flock is making sure of that. ❤️

L-R: Martie, Roma, Little Chip, Dale, Chipette, and JJ on the floor.

Shadow & Kelly: The Ultimate Love & Protection Squad

Shadow has always been a bit henpecked by Kelly — not that he minds! She’s the only one who puts up with his flirty antics and he behaves fully for. But ever since her wing injury nearly a year ago, he’s taken his role as a devoted husbird to a whole new level.

If he can’t find her, he panics. If she decides to go on an adventure into the front room, he’s right behind her. At night, he always snuggles up with her in a sleeping tub, making sure she’s safe and warm. And if another bird dares to get too close? Shadow immediately steps in like a tiny feathery bodyguard, ready to defend his wife.

Kelly might still be recovering, but with Shadow by her side, she’s never alone. 🥰🥺

Chipette and Her Very Feathery Bum 🤦🏼‍♀️

Miss Chipette has been blessed (or cursed) with the fluffiest underfuffies ever — so fluffy that she keeps getting p**p stuck in them. Of course, I had her tested for illness (which cost a fortune), only to be told the official diagnosis was… too much floof. 🙃💩

Now, every few days, I have to give her a little bum clean-up, and she is always furious about it. The subtitles on her face say it all — absolute betrayal! Sorry, Chipette, but floofy problems need floofy solutions! 🤣🙈

Bath time at finch HQ staring Nancy, Ted and Rusty. 🛁🫧 As they have all started their moult, baths are especially important to keep their feathers in good condition, keep them from feeling itchy and scratchy as new pin feathers grow in and stop skin conditions from occurring. In the winter they get a luke warm bath but in the summer like now, when their room is super warm, it’s on the colder side to help keep them cool. Birds overheat quite easily in hot weather as unlike humans, they cannot regulate their body temperature. 🫠🥵 It’s also very fun to watch them bath as when birds bath it’s a case of 99% getting the water everywhere and 1% actually getting clean. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Here’s the difference in my nesting male birds: Drew - tenderly preens Tear (his baby momma to be) while she’s snuggled in the nest, before taking over brooding duties and sits on the nest 95% of the day as Tear has been on them overnight. Also has a wander into the front room to stretch his wings and find a few feathers but soon comes back when requested. Ted - goes and finds as much random crap he can get his beak around to stuff the nest with, that Nancy his baby momma to be chucks out again. Then leaves her sitting on the eggs 95% of the day as he can’t sit still on them, for more than 0.5 seconds. Then goes to wind up Drew, or the others, attacks everything as it is either nesting material or he just enjoys being destructive just for the hell of it! Also likes attacking the hanging on their bedroom door as he knows the rattling winds me up. Gatecrashes zoom meetings and beeps loudly wanting to give whomever I’m speaking to his 5c. Gets “TED!” shouted a lot too - ignores me of course. I swear to god Ted is the most ADHD bird I’ve ever owned. It’s not even 10 am and I need rum! 🤣🙈

Shadow just watching the Great Tits and Blue Tits in the tree outside. 🥺🥰 Shads loves this spot and every morning will fly to it and sit there for ages just watching the wildies and the world go by! He also loves to sing his little song as seen in the video, to the wildies too. Yes, that is Rusty my male canary, singing LOUDLY in the background. 🤣🥰
