I usually like to have dark leafy greens like kale, broccoli, etc but I need to buy that tomorrow. Just lettuce, cucumber, and spinach for today with some sprouted millet and sprouted canary grass seed, topped with crushed cuttlefish. Usually I also add grit, but I hid my refill of grit so well that I haven't been able to find it... I cannot find it anywhere lol.

Mine also love carrot, mango, baby corn, and straight garden grass (for some reason).​ And any sort of sprout, especially the greens of rocket sprout.

Astra (f) on left Astro (m) right.... This is what they are as the lights went out... Astro tried to get in the same tent last night but she kicked him out... But tonight looks like it is different... Will they get back together? The story continues, stay tooned for the best one ! 🤣

Little birdie is growing up

My little finches: Kyurem and Reshiram (Pic. 1), Meloetta (Pic. 2), Harmonia (Pic. 3), Zekrom (Pic. 4) and Keldeo (RIP little guy, Pic 5).

Kyurem bonded with Meloetta, Reshiram with Harmonia. Zekroms partner was Keldeo. The new addition to the flock is in quarantine at the moment, hopefully he will bond with little Zekrom.

I've been collecting my pet parakeets feathers for a while and want to practice fixing up some of the feathers and cleaning it. Any tips?

Also I couldn't find a community for bird feathers cleaning, but I was hoping maybe somebody here knows anything.

My owl finch had some egg mess on her face and it crusted up a bit... her partner has been preening it away over time but it looks like maybe hes gone over board. Anything to be concerned about in anyones opinion?

Its been like this for a few weeks now. She does not seem bothered what so ever by it. Shes not scratchy or itchy or anything. Just curious on opinions

lol

He is on medication and has various very small, liquid, or soft foods along with his normal food.

I've always fed lafeber's pelleted foods as a staple to my finches and credit it to their long lifespans.

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing great.

One of my lovely zebra pair started laying eggs. The female layed eggs on the 24th, 25th, and 27th. No more eggs were layed for the last 3 days. She is not hatching the eggs either.

Is this normal? Should i just wait?

Thanks

idk why the zeebs in the society finches nest lol caramel on the right is watching them tho

One of the mice (Ashley) gets 1 teaspoon, two of my mice (Tessa & Ellie) get ½ teaspoon, and one (Bridget) gets ¼ teaspoon per day... I went a little overkill! Luckily the birds loved it once they gave it a try. The Bengalese finches were all over it. My sister's trio of rats also got some 😋

Hello, I would absolutely love to hear from other finch keepers on the activity level of their birds. I’ve had the joy of raising zebra finches for two years now, and they exhibit frequent periods of deep rest throughout the day and are generally calm birbs. Yes they can have their crazy moments, their energy outpaces other species of birds I keep, and they have fast metabolisms to upkeep, etc.. but I want to ask all of you: are finches much more calm than earlier guidance would suggest? Some sources say that indicators of health are constant activity, but I wonder if that was being mistaken for fighter flight mode. Nerd out on my birds today and thanks for anyone who has opinions.!!!!!

2 male gouldians what do they like what toys and other things thanks for ideas

We just lost my blue bird hyacinth she was a blue gouldian and they notoriously are pretty unhealthy due to genetics so we chalked it up to that. She had issues on and off for a few years from what I understand. (I got these birds from a great friend who is having a baby) Goji definitely has something going on as he is puffed up and sleeping during the day. (I understand and know that means he is unwell) what could it be? My three others are fine and have no symptoms. They have a huge cage, clean water, I regularly clean the cage and replace their food. They have a heat lamp when they want and need it. I just can’t figure it out. I’ve had them since April of this year now and I’m quite attached to them. The picture on the left was this morning he had an area where is feathers were ruffled but that seems to be normal this morning. My friend raises several of these birds for well over 10 years she just tells me sometimes these guys can be finicky and sensitive. What are your thoughts ?

In future i will add another one stick, but here is almost done cage🥰

Sorry for my English

Astra (f) decided to take the top tent last night that left Astro (m) to take the bottom one... Then tonight Astra (f) wanted the bottom one tonight.. pore Astro (m) took the top tent... The days of zebra finch marriage disputes continues... Stay toon for more to see what happens next lol 😂

We raised three baby zebra finch siblings and made the hard decision to separate Peanut here from her brother since they just weren't getting along.

She's hand-tamed and loves people - we spent two hours a day playing outside of the cage.

We have her at a local bird rescue in Tucson, AZ (Paradise Parrot Rescue) and they're wonderful, but I'm wondering about how to get the word out so she finds a great home. Hand-tamed finches aren't easy to find and I know someone would really love her.

I tried local subreddits but none will allow me to post. Anyone have ideas?

I added 1 main door and second aviary door 20x20 cm, so they can just fly out and in
