Zebra Finches


My finches are not feeding the babies at all and they die within a day or two of hatching. Why? Will they ever be good parents?


Answer:

Hi,

If they have done this more than once or twice, then I would not breed the pair again. Some birds just do not make good breeders.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
