Amazing Story....
Posted: 10 Nov 2009, 19:42
I was breeding White Zebra Finches and I had about five or six babies in a cage that were ready to leave the avairy where their parents were kept so I placed them in the sun on a nice sunny day. I placed them on a table were one side was close to the house.After about an hour or so I checked them and our cat managed to sneak under the table and just put her paw up between the house and the table. The cat had grabed one finch and squashed it up against the cage trying to get it out. I just caught her trying to pull another bird through the wires of the cage.
The cat had broken both of the birds legs at its nuckles.....I caught it just before it killed the bird. I nursed the bird and took care of it for the next few weeks against peoples advise that it was creul to keep the bird alive.....well I just couldn't kill it.
Even though this bird had its feet pointing up towards its head, it managed to get around just like any other bird. It was able to land on any sized perch,fly around like any other.
This bird mated with a female then built a nest for her to lay her eggs.
Because he was only young when it happened it was amazing some of the things this bird could do without legs.
Unfortunatly he was stuck behind a nesting box a couple of years later and couldn't free himself so he died. He was an amazing bird.
