We got our two new finches home in a small tiny cage, and before putting them in with the rest, decided to clean the larger cage first. While we were doing so, we placed the small cage next to the large one. It was such fun to see Rachel and Chandler go beserk - hopping around excitedly, mad with joy, and the two new finches no better! If there was a way for Rachel and Chandler to get out and into the small cage - they would have done so! It was so cute! We didn't keep them waiting long though; quickly cleaned the cage and then put the new finches inside and heaved a sigh of relief. Now they would all be paired up and could play at happy families!
Of course naming the two new arrivals was important. And poor Rachel could now have a guy name as befitted him! We decided to rename Rachel - Ricky ( after Richard Castle from one of our favourite TV show - "Castle"! ). One of the new females got named Becks ( after Kate Beckett in the same serial ) and the other was called Rachel!
Once it started getting dark, Chandler and Becks settled down in one of the nests together, and Rachel in the other, but alas! Ricky ( who was once Rachel ) was still by himself! There seems to be something seriously wrong with the guy!
