This baby is 14 days old. So he's pretty close to fledging. I had just thought it too early for him to leave and put him back in, as the fledging timelines I had read show ~18-21 days. But, if both of you say they should feed him on the floor even now, then maybe next time I should just wait and...

Not from what I've seen. They don't really pay much attention to him at all when he's on the floor. He'll sit there in the same spot and they will go about their business. This is their first clutch, though. But, when I put him back in the nest they'll feed him within minutes. I'm worried to...

Hello, So, I made a bit of an error in nest choice, I think. I had given one of my zebra pairs a canary nest - one of those small (problem one), open nests (problem 2). Well, this little guy is at a point where he just keeps... jumping down to the floor. He has been doing it for the past three...

An update. A pretty late one, mind you, but nonetheless... "he" is, in fact, a SHE. Seller refused to comment when I made that revelation. And she still can't fly, even with her tail in. Curious. Now, I've never seen anyone talk about clipping a finch's wings, so I've never seen what that looks...

Alright, that's a good point. Was a bit upset, but you are right. That's a bad way to think about it on my end. Thank you.

Unfortunately, that's what I was thinking. When he tried to claim, "breeding season" that's when I got a bit more skeptical about him. I was trying to give him fair judgement, so I was just wanting to see what others thought, but it seems he just lied to me. Which is very, very sad. He'll be in...

I'll attach a picture to see for yourselves, but I'm a tad torn. I've had Societies for two years, and not once have I ever seen a molt resulting in no tail feathers whatsover. They obviously lose them and replace them, but I have never seen them lose all tail feathers at once. I contacted the...

I apologize for the somewhat late reply, I should have updated this but I've been a bit depressive. Unfortunately he passed away Wednesday morning. I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly. Come Monday, he was actually doing great. His flying was a bit better and his climbing was getting...

So, it looks like my Bengalese injured one of his wings. Admittedly, I don't know how it happened, all I do know is it is NOT sickness. He was doing just fine, hopping, singing, eating treats. I left the aviary room for less than five minutes to find him on the floor with his wing positioned...

Hello, Asking around to see if there's anything I can do to help the current situation. In March, I got what I thought were two zebra finches - one was a Society whom I was told was a Pied Zebra. Not a big deal, I suppose, as they got along just fine. However, I need a steady stream of eggs for...

That... is important to hear, thank you for telling me. I have to feed my snake exclusively on eggs, as she's a dasypeltis - egg eating snake, can't eat much else. I was told that if I were to get a pair of finches, then that would be enough as they lay eggs frequently. But if this frequent...

Hello, So, I've been getting steady clutches from my finch pair, but lately things have changed... They have not laid eggs for me in 3 weeks, going on 4. I do not know what has changed, and since I'm needing these eggs for my snake, I'm getting increasingly concerned. They have been acting...

So this might seem like a silly question, but I can't find an actual answer to this. I have two finches (zebra finches), and the female has just laid their first clutch. The "issue" is, I don't know the best way to get the eggs out, with minimal stress on the birds. I have a nesting box, but...
