Aussie Finch Forum

Was all very exciting seeing the little fawn baby hopping about the cage so I thought id better change the water bowl to something smaller and do a bit of a cleanup ..
Reached in to grab what looked liked dried out spinach only to find a very emaciated little bubba still breathing .
So a small feed of formula and into the brooder it went , dont know if this one will have a happy ending but Ill give it a go .

Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Good luck.

It picked up heaps by late afternoon so we popped it back in the nest . It got itself well into the nest and the parents are in and out so hopefully they are feeding it .

Anyhoo it had formula and was strong enough so best place is with the family me thinks . Will check in the morning so keep those fingers crossed .

Awesome Deb hope it goes well!

What finch are we talking about deb. Your new Zebs?

Yep AMCA the Marked whites or Chestnut flanked lol it was never decided what they were anyhoo the baby stayed in the nest and from what I can see is looking good and being parent fed .
Really did NOT enjoy hand feeding such a tiny bird but would have done so if needed ...

great news! good luck with the little bub!

Its funny deb, one day they have hatched the next day they are out. Ahhhhh they grow up so quick. How time flies.

Hmmmm I cant see into the back of the nest , so they hatch when I see them not when they crack the egg ...if you know what I mean .

Its a bit relaxed in the Deb household .
