My finches just hatch two babies. I give small pieces of Romaine lettuce and Broccoli. I chopped it into small pieces. They eat it and a hour later the male died in their nest. Was it to much for male to eat, or was it to much stress to help raise there babies?

I have an elderberries bush which is fruiting really well this year, I noticed a lot of silver eye finches feasting on the ripe berries yesterday. This site says not to feed them to finches. Please tell me I haven't handed the bird. I will pull the plant out of I have to.

Lionardo Di Vinci used to buy them to free them from their cages. I'd do the same but it would only make the traders keep selling them...oh, along with you lot. I'm here because we have one in the warehouse and trying to figure how to get him out. I know they're cute but....

Regarding the birds in the aviary that aren't moving. I would first think that they've been startled by a hawk. When a hawk comes around, after flying to safety, my birds wouldn't be budged for anything. :)

I have an outdoor loft with about 20 finches. I've been feeding them fresh vegies and fruit along with their seed, and am always rushed by them when they see me carrying the white plate with the fresh cut food. Today none of them moved as I entered the loft and put the plate down for them. I went out and watched them for a minute or two and saw no action whatever. I checked on them 30 minutes, and an hour later and still no response to the plate of fresh micro greens and watermelon. Are they sensing something I'm unaware of, or? Their behavior is so bizarre, especially since not one of them ventured towards the food, and they're usually allover it. I'd appreciate any insights you may have. Thanks so much.
