A week or so our female finch decided to visit Jesus, leaving us with a semi-empty bird cage so Mike and Lacie offered to bring us one of their female finches who was getting picked on by their other birds.
Last night we introduced the new female to our male bird and immediately they started fluttering around the cage acting all anxious. We left the two birds alone and ate dinner at which time Mike went back to check on the unusually quiet bird cage. We found the new female stuck inside a bird toy and hanging somewhat upside down.....we weren't sure if she was trying to hide from male or kill herself. The upsetting part was the way her wing was laying it looked as if she may have damaged it. Mike was able to cut her out of the bird toy without overly upsetting her and although her heart was beating like crazy, she looked ok.
This morning she still favors the bottom of the cage but she has flown around and it looks like the male bird is leaving her alone so she may decide to live with us for a while...I will keep you posted.
