ANOTHER HOT ONE AT THE LAZY VEGAN!!!

The baby finches flew off- but we didn't see it!

I took a quick peek in the finch nest today and discovered that it was empty! I had read that they fly off really quickly- at around 14 days, and that would be about right from the first time I ever took a photo...sure would have loved to have seen them take their first flight- and I miss them! They're awfully cute.
