my bird is hurt, shes the offspring of my
old bird and i think she might die because
she wont get off the bottom of the cage,
she wont open one wing, and she dosnt
freak out when u put ur finger in the cage
like normal (shes a finch so shes really
scared of people) im soo worried i hope
she will be ok , i put food on the bottom
of the cage and a juice lid full of water.
i think wewu did something lke scare her
and she flew into something.
im so upset i hope shes ok

She might have hurt herself somehow. Are
you able to touch her?

aww .i'm sorry  I hope she
recovers! Is there anything special she
likes to eat? Like fruit or something?
Maybe you could give her a small slice of
apple (if finches are okay to eat that - I
really have no idea).

Oh, okay. I thought maybe she would pick
off little bites of the apple slice. But I
guess that makes sense.
Poor girl.

If you're able to without hurting her, try
to touch the wing that she won't open. You
might be able to feel something wrong with
it. Just be gentle. If anything, I think
the local vet would be able to give you
some advice.

Perhaps if you just leave her in a quiet,
dark place she will recover. Perhaps she
is just shocked/dazed?

You can totally *hear* the phone ringing
over the loudspeaker too!!
My dad used to work at a dealership and it
was sooo annoying.
Then .baron's brother moved basically
right behind it, and that's alllllll he
hears!!! It's good for *him* though...he
deserves misery!

can't you just drape a blanket over the
cage? isn't that what people do to birds
to let them know it's time to sleep and be
quiet?

That's so sad
I used to raise birds and they are so good
at hiding their illnesses that by the time
they show times it's normally too late to
do much. Probably not the news you wanted
to hear. But do you have any millet? my
finches got that as a treat and loved it.
I hope the little guy or gal recovers.

Ah...are they still in the same cage? It's
best if the ill one is by itself, but next
to the cage with other birds, since they
are social critters. Even tho you may not
see it, a lot of times pals/mates will
pick on the ill one, even if they are good
with each other normally.
