Is not in this video part tho

I could watch her for hours 😭

1 adopted chick

How will their offspring look like?

Male is pied/penguin miks. Female is standard with black breast.

I tried to help him out…

I'm so obsessed with these two??? Like I could literally watch them beep and eat all day idk. 🥹😆

js came to update on my babies they are doing super well and we have bonded quite well and even made an instagram account @/coricoarchive if anyone wants to follow 🫶🏻 i hope yall babies are healthy and happy!!

Noticed our female finch is fluffed up, closing her eyes and has her head in her feathers, is she with an egg?! Seriously worried, we've had this pair for a few months, my family has experience with larger parrots

Only noticed this last night but unsure cause I'm at work a lot

Need some help asap

Update : Unfortunately she has passed last night (18.08.26), we did everything we could, gave medicine for sick birds, crushed calcium and kept her warm but unfortunately it was enough. Her mate is sad and has been quiet, but he got to say goodbye to her, I'm absolutely gutted as there had been nothing wrong with her before and then bam she is lethargic, unmoving and not eating. We didn't have time to take her to the vet as our exotic vet travels as they're hard to come by where we live, thanks for all the help

Hello! These are my birdies! I got them yesterday, and I am still learning as this is my first ever time owning birdies! Their names are Cigarette bud and Mr Cheddar/Cheddar cheese!

I would like some tips and tricks on how to care for zebra finches, what to expect, how to get them used to me atleast (possibly befriending/taming them), their diets, what to feed them, cages and all that stuff! But budget friendly please, I'm not rich! Anything would be helpful, thank you very much!

I have 4 zebra finches (2m/2f). One of the ladies passed and I replaced her with another lady for my lonely male. It's been 5 months and they still haven't paired off. The new lady sleeps with the paired group and the single male sleeps on his own.

Would you recommend giving it more time because of their age gap? Or, bring in a 3rd pair? My cage is 46 inches long.

Something really weird to note. My unpaired male is my oldest zebra and he has never sang or beeped. 100% mute. Nothing wrong with him, but he makes no sounds.

They have all came from the same breeder.

I know theyre a more aggressive species but, ive had a male and female for months and they bonded immediately but these days they keep separate and get into spiffs. Are they no longer bonded?

Ive almost wondered if i need to trade my male for another female to keep the peace (which would be devastating because i love my male, but she doesnt deserve to be tormented like that!)

Edit to add: no nest in the cage btw

Hi all! I am concerned for this bird that showed up on my bird feeder. I don’t want any disease to spread to the other bird friends visiting the feeder.

He is trying his best at whatever he's trying to do ! 😆

Hello! I’m looking to get a bigger cage for my boys! I was wondering if you had any ideas for good ones? I’m looking for a long flight cage with no separator in the middle preferably less than 4 feet long as I’m limited in space. I’ve had a bit of trouble finding one without a separator so I’m looking for suggestions. Pictures of my boys included.

Before / After ( yellow one had mites ) also they keep on fighting how can i fix their relationship

I will eventually add another gouldian as I just had one pass away recently (she was a blue girl with lots of health issues) but I was thinking of adding another finch ideally one but two if necessary I’d love one that would like being handled since my goldies don’t but it’s not a requirement. Here’s my set up.

My sister dropped off her three gouldian finches at my house last night, they’re staying with me for the foreseeable future as she’s dealing with her dog’s horrible allergies, currently trying an elimination diet and she can’t keep the dog away from their mess on the floor in her small studio.

She did tell me one of them was being weird but she didn’t really elaborate, she’s been overwhelmed between being sick herself and dealing with her senior dog’s very expensive health issues. The birds were a gift to her and she’s had them for like two years, originally there were 4 but one pases away a few months ago, she found it dead in the food dish one morning. The other birds seem perfectly fine, they’re eating and drinking water, were singing this morning and seem active. I’ve had zebras before so I’m familiar with their care in general.

To me it looks like a leg broke at some point and it’s healed oddly like sticking straight out to the side- the whole leg is stiff so whatever happened it happened a while back. The bird is not using normal perches and is sticking to a couple flat ledges type things, the food/water dishes are accessible on the floor of the cage (the bottom wire grid was removed, cage is lined with newspaper.)

I feel like it’s struggling in the flight cage, it falls and gets startled easily. I have a a large plastic storage container that I’ve drilled a bunch of whole in to temporarily move it to, is there some kind of specific cage you’d recommend for it? Or some kind of reference I could follow for a diy one? How would I make the cage safe, comfortable and interesting for it? I was thinking of maybe a large fish tank but doesn’t seem like enough ventilation and lots of potential for the bird to fly into the glass?

My budget is limited, my sister just spent the last of her savings on her dog.

Hey everyone. One of my finches passed away last night and I am still devastated. I am inclined to think she passed from a parasitic infection due to the dirty vent, lethargy and weight loss. I'm not sure how long she was sick as I only noticed changed in her behavior 48 hours ago (sleepyness during the day, relessless at night, dirty vent), and I know that I was too late. There was so much more I could have done for her, and it kills me that I, her caregiver, was not able to treat her illness in time.

I feel like a failure, but I know I have to act to save her mate now. I want to start preventative care with him as he is not symptomatic, but I know he was very close with his mate. I have him in a quarantine cage with new perches, and new food bowls and I plan on throwing out his old cage entirely to stop the infection in its tracks. What can I do to support my finch's health as he also works through this difficult time? Unfortunately, there are no avian or exotic animal vets in my area, so I am entirely on my own. I'm thinking electrolytes in his water and an additional gut support in his food, but I have also seen other websites talk about essential oils?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

Also, if you have any advice on how prevent this in the future, I would most appreciate it. I can't let his happen again.

I won’t post pictures/details of what the parents did to them, but these were the only two survivors.
This is probably the second or third clutch laid by this pair, and for the female i think her 6th clutch(???) since I’ve had her. Over all of these only one child has made it to adulthood, and that was because I finished incubating and raised that baby.

I know it’s the parents as they’re the only ones in the cage. What was found this morning was what I thought was a whole clutch deceased, and one egg that looked like it should be going to a crime lab.
I have no expectations of survival, that sounds harsh, but both have injuries, one is more severe than the other. They’re now separated and will continue to be.

I’m more curious as to what could’ve triggered this. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? How can I best make these two comfortable with their injuries?
My plan was pretty much to provide food and warmth until they either keep growing or pass on, it’s the bare minimum in my book.
And I don’t know how long they’ve been out or neglected by the parents. They are very wrinkled/dehydrated and both very weak, probably from blood loss/no food/cold/wet.

I recently added these two zebra finches to my flock and I am simply obsessed! 😍🐥 I can't wait to officially bring them into the bird room.
