My finches that are pretty old finally had another clutch of eggs! I was so excited; only one egg hatched and the male did an excellent job of caring for the baby--never really saw her go in the nest! I was gone most of the day yesterday and the baby decided it was time to come out. I found him on the floor of the cage dead and pecked up! Do you think my button quail that lives in the bottom of their cage could be responsible? There is also another pair of finches in the cage of the same kind and they have their own nest but no eggs...I sure hope they have it in them to do another clutch! Terri O
