Greetings finch people, Sorry to jump in here with a question from a finch newbie!
I'm actually volunteering at a bird rescue and am taking care of a greenfinch (?) nestling, so this is a wild finch question.
This little guy is about 3 weeks old (I'm guessing!) and other nestlings I've cared for are usually at least trying to peck at seed themselves by now. I can't seem to get this guy interested in any food.
So, can you let me know when the usually start eating themselves? And, if you have any suggestions for encouraging him to eat, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!
