I swore never to have Gouldians again for that exact reason, a perfectly healthy looking bird will be dead the next day :x . Mind you I've done that 4 times so far :lol:

Sorry about your hen.

I have lost a couple of hens too. Made a mess of my pairing plans.

One of the hard things about keeping finches ,Is loosing them suddenly.Do your best to house them,And hope you breed alot more then you loose.
