Lol! The things we have in common!
I always thought I was the only person on earth to handraise a Zebra finch!
I used a toothpick to feed Leonardo da Finchi. Turned out to be a female, but the name stuck.
That little bird thought she was a parrot and rode on my shoulder all proudly. She would sit in my hand when I watched TV and if I made a fist she would fall asleep immediately in there.
Handraised finches are very rare, and NOBODY but crazies feed $2.00 zebra finches day and night by hand. Lol!!!!!!!!!
