Without a photo, it is hard to tell what might be wrong. Personally, if the bird is eating and drinking and does not seem to be bothered by it, I would leave it for now and just keep an eye on him.

Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care, especially on the Zebra finch. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer questions later on.

Welcome to the forum

I would look carefully at the toe for any hair or tiny string, just be sure theres nothing wrapped around it tightly. A magnifying glass would be very helpful for this.

Good luck
