[shanny2]

what do i do i took him out of the small aviary and i put him in a cage with water and seed and covered it with 2 towels the female hasn't done this before?

[finchbreeder]

Sorry don't know. But it sounds like you have done the right thing. Let him recover then re-introduce him and watch them.

Yes I agree, give it a chance to recover. Wow, I thought it was the males that plucked the females, didn't realise they females can get that way too...

sorry to hear Shanny

[shanny2]

and when i put her into the little aviary thats when she started attacking him and what about the male everyday i have seen him have sex with the female everyday?

[finchbreeder]

Maybe she was upset at having less space, or maybe he was being too attentive and she got angry with him. Or maybe a bit of both.
