Post by LauraElrod » Sat Oct 27, 2007 8:50 pm

about 2 weeks ago i got up to my little boy sitting on the bottom of the cage . he left me pick him up so i knew he was sick and i moved him to a clean small baby cage and then 3 days later my other male died ...now my 2 spice finches left just sit and there is no singing like they usally do and they are not eating alot but them hop around alot and i am wondering if they miss the other 2 who died as anyone had bird who acted like this?

Not eating is a bad sign... your finches could have whatever sickness your other died from.... keep an eye on them. You could possibly start them on an antibiotic? Make sure you're feeding them soft foods, like mashed boiled egg and millet. Heat should be provided as well for sick finches.
