Hello,

Unfortunetly I am posting another request for help with a sick finch.

I bought some orange breasts a while ago and kept them in a cage for a month/or two before moving them into an aviary with my gouldians. The male orange breast has had his feathers fluffed out for a few days now and is constantly on the ground picking at food. He doesn't seem to be eating any food just picking around (like he is looking for something maybe????)

I seem to recall reading something ages ago about finches picking around their food but just can't remember where I read it and what it means. I have done a few boiled eggs with crushed shells and egg and biscuit. I have also wormed them all.

any advice on what to do?

Thanks in advance. Paige
