Depends. .how was bird transported? In a closed box or open cage type...released in morning or afternoon? Put in aviary or put in a quarantine cage?

If in open cage probably stressed. .also if putting in late arfo..need to leave lights on for it to find food and water...sorry but I think you are partially to blame....😯 just my opinion 😯 but I would have asked all those questions to you before selling it. .and if it still died I would replace...πŸ˜‰

Personal opinion, buyer beware.
Unless you can be absolutely sure the seller knew it was ill you have to cop the loss.
It hurts but it's my opinion. Been in the position both as a seller and buyer.
It is your responsibility to make sure it is healthy and even more important make sure
you do every thing to assist the transportation and requirements the bird needs when you get
home
When I have been involved with losses from my birds to my knowledge they have always been
created by the buyer
If you carried a rare bird like that in an open cage you should be ashamed, a can't believe the
seller would allow it, I wouldn't

Would be a brave . . or foolish person to comment on this situation . .

But if you saw the bird . . saw the set up . . knew the seller . . or knew of others' dealings with the seller . .

And bought the bird . .

OK . . since you put me on the spot

IMHO . . NO





And . . since there are probably not too many breeders of that particular finch in the suburb mentioned . . you probably should not have 'named(??) and shamed' without concrete proof, either

Just my view :silent:
