A collection of notes and photos - most of them taken at our home on Lake Gaston, North Carolina. Pets & wildlife are my favorite photo subjects. Visit my Lakeview Aviary website for info and more photos about my indoor finch aviary.

What are the dots in and around their mouths? They grow into such pretty birds.
Lynne,
I think the general consensus is that purpose of those cool flourescent blue mouth spots is to help the parents see their mouths in a dark nest. The spots begin to disappear when the babies are 4 or 5 weeks old.
That is just so cool! Too bad they don't stay, but really your gouldian finches couldn't get any prettier.
