Thanks Delena for the suggestions, but unfortunately my little finch, Dolce, died last Thursday. this has upset me terribly where i don't think i want another finch again...they are so fragile and they don't live very long. i had a lady gould that lived 6 years and after that it's been only 3 years tops..this is it for me. thanks though.
