Finch!Napoleon in the middle of some Very Important spring cleaning/home remodeling as finch!Illya nyooms in the background.

Right: finch!Napoleon and finch!Illya today, 2 years later.

The basket is bigger and so are they, but, otherwise… nothing has changed.

I was replaying Ocarina of Time for kicks, and my finches, especially finch!Illya, attempted to have a conversation with a Cucco.

My birds are acting exactly like their namesakes.

Do you have pictures of the Finch Agents from U.N.C.L.E.?

Yup! I have pics and vids in this tag, though it’s kind of hard to get good pics of them because they rarely stay still, LOL.

My best pics of them are these ones from last year when they were still in the lab and not “mine” yet–

Illya is the lighter-colored one (he’s a blond!!), and Napoleon has the darker, standard coloration.

As a side note, if given the opportunity, each and every bird, no matter how small, will eventually reveal that the KT extinction event was nothing more than a mere inconvenience, and that dinosaurs still roam the Earth.

This observation brought to you by finch!Napoleon, who unleashed every ounce of Cretaceous rage he possessed upon me when I attempted to check on him while he was in the nest basket. In my defense, I wanted to make sure he wasn’t pulling feathers to line the nest again, as he has done before. In his defense, attacking a giant primate who was poking her finger into the nest basket was 1000% the logical course of action and I really should have expected that outcome.

Good news is that he has not been pulling feathers again, and he and I have come to an agreement about keeping my clumsy primate fingers out of his basket, for which finch!Illya is the only other being allowed entry.

Bad news is that he’s been eyeing that Zelda poster behind him to shred with his beak for further nesting material. Note to self: move poster.
