The finch flight is a little shaded, being on the North side of the barn. However the large stone barn provides a great deal of protection from the other elements. Finches and Button quail are kept in this flight year round.

The original finch pair, the male is in the background, the female is lighter in color and in the foreground. Quite a few of their offspring were also sharing the flight.

While there I got to see a group dirt bath. A few of the Buttons decided an impression in the dirt would be a great bath spot. It started with two of them on their backs and sides, pushing and shoving at each other and kicking dirt all about. Quickly this attracted others and before long 5 or 6 Buttons were competing for the best position within the dirt bowl. This was quite the sight.
