Hi and welcome to the forum
How is your finch now?
I'm assuming stressed and freaked out but is she still alive?
If you have problems with snakes and butcher birds, you can buy mouse wire and put that over the normal wire. Mouse wire has 6mm square mesh and snakes, mice and butcher birds can't get through the wire.

So sorry to hear that you have been plagued with bad luck. But look at it as a challenge. How can you and the finches triumph over the butcher birds and snakes? Can you post a picture of your avairy/cage setup? So members can give you the best possible advice on how to beat the predators and enjoy your finches.

G'day, welcome to the forum, sorry it's on such a sad note though
I have an Orange Breast cock bird with only one leg caused by the butcherbird at home, be he still manages to produce fertile eggs, he's a little trooper
If you need help at all with protecting your birds, or anything else, members like myself and everyone else are here to help
Thanks
