Zebra finch has a swollen eye, pls help
Hello,
I have some zebra finches, and one has scraped her face. The feather on half her face both sides are gone, and there is a little bleeding. One of her eyes is swollen shut too. I am so worried about my little finch! Can anyone recommend how I should help her heal? She is resting on the bottom of the cage, and I know that is a bad sign. One finch seems to be pecking her a little, but not too much. I hope she gets better soon!

Separate her from the healthy finches, then take her to an avian vet.
Have a nice day!

Don't let any bird peck at her. That might be the cause. You could put her in a separate cage and place it right next to the other cage where the rest of the birds are. Keep clean water and her favorite foods in it, and put a sprig of millet on the floor for her.
