I think my grey female is harrassing the white female

Post by Lauravdm » Thu Oct 14, 2010 5:42 am

Hey all
So every time I go outside to look at my finches the grey female is at the whole of the other females nest while she is in there with her eggs... is this a sign of aggression or is she just curious to whats going on?
I haven't noticed any aggression, also my grey pair laid an egg and then abandoned the nest is it possible that she is now after the nest the other pair is in!!!

It's possible she is curious and may even want to help out. It's their nature.
