We Have Finches on Our Balcony

[dawn_felagund]

About a month ago, I noticed that a pair of house finches were showing some interest in our hanging basket of snapdragons. I noticed a lot of fluttering in and out and knew what that meant

*Scratches head* Let me guess. You've named the birds Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, and Curufinwe (or something vaguely resembling that).

Oh, and the parents are Feanor and Nerdy Nerdanel.

If you haven't named them yet, I bet they have names now. :-P

I hadn't named them yet! But now I have! :^D

The adopted one--because he's big, pushy, and doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the family--will be Feanor. In the last picture of the nest, there's a particularly cute little guy curled up on the far right. He'll be Finarfin 'cause he's super cute. The other two will be Fingolfin and Lalwen.

The parents, of course: Finwe and Indis.

Thanks for the idea! :^P

But. . . but they're Finches! Atticus, Aunt Alexandra, Jem, Jean Louise! The adopted one could be Dill! Or Boo Radley!

But Feanor isn't a finch! Clever idea though! :^D

Well, Dill and Boo Radley aren't Finches, either.
