FINCHforum

Help! Any one know what's going on with my zebra finch beak? She doesn't appear to be in pain. Dont know if its a calcium or vitamin thing but theres a cuttlebone in the cage and I give them hard boiled eggs with shells sometimes and vitamin in the water.

Also, I don't have a picture but do anyone know about bumps under the beak? I read in an older thread to apply mineral oil. What brand to use? I search at my local drug store without any luck. Its hard to notice details on tiny birds when you have many.

I'd stop the vitamins in the water, as they don't have a choice but to drink the water and may get too much of certain vitamins. It may be an injury, but you can put Quick Gel on the beak and it should heal nicely.

Thank you. Do you recommend a brand of quick gel? I see so many pop up on google for so many things.

I order mine through ladygouldianfinch.com.
