Second Set of Zebra Finch Eggs?I have a pair of zebra finches they ended up having 5 babies. All 5 babies just came out the nest about 2 weeks ago and is starting to eat on their own, but now mom is laying more eggs. 1 each day she's up to 4 eggs now. Is this normal? What should I do? And how can I prevent this from happening a 3rd time ?

 

A sick bird.

Caring for Baby Zebra Finches?My parent birds Lucy & Ricky had their first eggs and I thought all was going good until the chirping stopped and there wasn't any movement. I got the nest down and found these babies. Well that was about 3 months ago and now we have 4 birds in the nest and their growing and eating. But I can see this again and I'm worried they will pass too, could they be over feeding them? This morning I found two tiny babies on the cage floor. They both had full bellies like this one but they are very young barely had feathers. I picked them back up and put them in some warm bedding, but the parents haven't checked on them at all. Any help would be great. I feel so bad for my bird parents.

Duck Left Egg?I have this black and white duck. She made a nest in the bush near a lake, and laid one egg down in it. She left the egg though and came in to her coop like usual. I know she is supposed to lay up to thirteen more or so. Is she supposed to sit on them when there is only one still there or should I incubate it?

Zebra Finch Newborns Left Alone?I just added two pair of Zebra Finches to my Quail aviary about three months ago. Provided nests, nesting material and food conducive to breeding. One pair started building a nest within a week. About three weeks in, I noticed one finch was ALWAYS in the nest so I assumed they are sitting on eggs. Based on the date, I figured the babies should hatch about the 20th of November. There was always one or the other finch in the nest at all times. I noticed on the 20th, both were out and every time I came out for the next two days they were always out of the nest. I finally decided to look inside but it was a straw nest with very small opening (not a wood nest box with lifting lid) so I couldn't see anything. On the 23rd, I decided to put my finger in and I felt flesh with no movement or sounds. I assumed the babies hatched and then died as a result of being abandoned. I brought the nest into the house and snipped the top half open to see what I could see. There were at least three maybe four babies that appeared dead. When i went to pick one up it moved slightly and made a small sound. I immediately closed the nest back up, tied it closed and put it back in the aviary in hopes that the parents would go back to the nest. Is it possible or did the parent abandon them and it is just taking a while for them to die?

Finches Not Caring For Eggs?I have 4 finches; 3 females and 1 male. The four finches were in the same cage. The male mated with two of the females. Both females have their own nest and six eggs but one of the females kept coming out of her nest and chasing the other female through the cage so I turned around and set up a new cage and took two of the females and the eggs and put in the new cage. The other female and male are still in their big cage with their eggs. The two females that I put in the new cage used to sit on the eggs and turn them. In the last 4 days they haven't gone in the nest to do anything with the eggs. What do I do or will the eggs be okay?

Zebra Finch Eggs?So my fiance cleaned our Zebra Finches cage to put them in a bigger cage and we discovered that they had laid an egg! He didn't know what it was so he picked it up and asked me what it was. He put it in the new cage as he had already moved them in there in a little nest like thing that is theirs. Does this mean they will abandon the egg? Is there a way we could care for it if they do that way it hatches? I'm excited to be a grandma and don't want anything to happen to it.

Finch Has One Eye Closed?My finch's one eye is always closed. What is the reason and how can I cure it? Will it automatically cure itself? Please suggest some remedy to me or whether I want to go to a vet clinic.

Raising Zebra Finches?What if the zebra finch mothers are feeding their babies too much so that the food is getting stuck in the babies' neck and the babies cannot breathe? Two have died like this.

Breeding Zebra Finches?I have two pairs of zebra finches and only one breeder box. Is that enough for the two pairs to breed or I have to buy another breeder box for them? Will the one pair damage the other pairs' eggs?

New Zebra Finches Are Quiet and Not Active?My fiches are always simply sitting. Also they are not making sounds frequently. Is there any problem with them? I bought them just 2 days ago. I am just a beginner. I don't have any experience with birds.

Zebra Finch Laid Eggs?Yesterday I woke up and I saw that my zebra finch had laid an egg. Today I woke up and saw that it had laid another egg. I saw them breeding a few days earlier, but I know nothing about what I need to do.

Introducing a New Finch to a Lone Bird?I have a 6 year old male zebra finch and I'm looking to get another male. My finch has always been alone. So, my question(s) is/are, would they fight? Will my old one be territorial? How would I introduce them? I don't really want my old one to be stressed so if this doesn't sound like a good idea I won't do it.

Budgies Started Being Really Loud Lately?I got two budgies from my neighbor a couple months ago. It seems to me like the female is mean, loud and pushy (even to the poor boy). It seems like she's screaming at him! Last week or two they've been extra loud. I would like to gain their friendship, but I'd also like to get back to the old, tolerable noise level.

Breeding Society Finches?I bought 2 Society finches. 2 months later they nested in the food container. I bought an actual nest and they didn't want it. I just got small pine tree dried leaves, cotton strings, and pieces of fluffy Bounty napkins. 2 weeks later I saw 4 eggs. 18 days went by and on the 18th day in the evening I found all 4 babies dead!

Zebra Finch Nest and Eggs Knocked Down?We have a pair of zebra finches. They built a nest and laid 2 eggs which surprised us because we got them from someone that told us they where just a few months old. Never the less things where going great, the dad was brining twigs to make a roof and they where taking turns nesting on the eggs.
