Aussie Finch Forum

i have just got home from holidays and found my white breasted gouldians flying up to the wire! i found that mice had eaten all the seed and my grandfather said he only filled it up yesterday at 6AM. i have two hend with me in my lounge one which just passed away . they are cold and not well what can i do to save this girl!!

Give it some heat, anything will do, desk lamp ect, give some form of electrolytes, even a bit of glucose in the water, to keep its energy up, try offering it's favorite food to encourage it to eat.

I would bait the mice as well.....

How Do I Put a Picture on?

Theres a home made electrolyte recipe, that someone sent to me on the forum, it will do you till you can get the proper stuff.

thanks guys but they both died... i walked out to the bird cage and found over 100 mice!!! in our local area we are going thru a plague which reallly sucks i have ALL my birds inside where i have no mice! and have found the best mice catchers (two ferrets). im so pissed off that mice could get in the cage as i have only recenty put the aviary up... and i did a lot to stop them... well i now have 15 traps around my cage and im emptying them every hour!! and about 3 weeks ago i put bait in the shed under the house and everywhere else! well i shall start again and see how i go in stoppping these mice... well thankyou all.

Wow that's a lot of mice . Sadly your not the Lone Ranger when it comes to the mouse plague at the moment . Seems to be a nationwide event and a lot of people with aviaries are struggling .
Sorry you lost your birds .
