Yesterday I found a finch (adult female) unable to properly fly but otherwise appearing healthy, I kept her on the porch for safety and monitoring, and this morning she had a large air bubble, approximately the size of her skull, on the back left of her neck. This evening the bubble had expanded...
I love Hitoko, but don’t always have time to follow him around when he’s out of his tank getting into trouble. So I knew I needed a friend for him. ...but I’ve only ever had bad luck hatching my own eggs, partially due to a garbage incubator. So he’s never gotten a little

Yesterday, we found a wild purple finch in the jaws of our neighbor's cat outside. We rescued it and put in in a box with timothy hay and wild finch feed. He seems to be doing well for now. We haven't seen any blood on him, but his wing is off to the side and he can't fly. Here is a picture of...
I'm not a finch expert, so I thought I'd post my idea on here so other people can give advice.
I feed my parrots a mix of veggies in the morning and pellets in the evening. Any seeds are just reserved for treats. This has been working out great for me, so I thought I'd do something similar for...
Hello I have a young finch named tiny. I adopted tiny from a shelter a couple months ago because he was being picked on by the bigger males and had to be kept to himself. We got tiny a female now named Minnie so he would be happy and was and so was Minnie, they would sit by each other and eat...

Its taken a year for my zebra finches to breed and both pairs have finally bred. I have 2 nests for them which they sleep in. One of my pairs are fine and eggs have hatched but my other pair has laid one egg so far, in the food dish. I took out thr food and allowed them to nest it but it will...
I woke up to find one of my finches bleeding on the bottom of the aviary and still alive, checked the security cameras and it's looks like a cat got him. His whole leg is just being held on by a piece of skin. The bleeding has stopped, but I don't know what I am going to do about his leg.
Sorry...

I currently have 2 pairs of zebra finches, 1 pair of diamond doves and king quail in my aviary. I would like to have 1 pair each of budgies and cockatiels in there too but i dont know if its safe?
Ive got a new aviary and found out and cant fit it into my backyard. Therefore i have to put it on my concrete floored carport. Im getting finches, doves, canaries and quails in it. What type of flooring would be best put in there for them?
Im moving next week and im getting a new aviary and more birds. I want to get a mixture of species but i dont know who's okay with who. I want to get some quails, budgies, a couple of diamond doves, and the zebra finches i already have.
I have been keeping my coturnix quail with two society finches for about a year now, and I wanted to know if anyone else has done that :) i do not have a picture of their current setup, but it is a 3 1/2 foot tall rat cage with 2 sq. feet of ground space. this is a bit of their old cage:
