The Finches are paired off, of course, so they reminded me of Valentines Day.

These are our new pets, finches. The Cordon Blues are Magic and Jewel. The Societies are Tomahawk and Penelope. My dad remembers my grandma (Violet Wiseman White) and my great grandma (Annie Irlam Wiseman) raising finches when he was little, so I had to get some for Christmas. Magic and Jewel have two new babies and are waiting for 2 more eggs to hatch.
