I got me a pair of finch birds years ago,finally last year they got 3 babies(all girls )so i was a total of 5 birds in the same cage,the cage was pretty big, so i make sure that they were feeling comfy all the time and with plenty of food,for some reason the ‘mama’ of all the babies hurted her leg and she broke it half way and she became the ‘weakest’ in the cage,the new babies started to attack her as soon as they noticed that she couldn’t walk fine,to the point that i had to buy another cage where the ‘mama’ and the father of all the girls would be leaving, that put an end to all the fights!,but later the 3 birds remaining in the other cage started to fight very heavy,specially against one specially bird,today i found it dead!!— my question is how sociable are this kind of birds?what was causing the new babies to fight to much?i make sure to supply them with plenty of water,food,toys,in a nice part of my house,i can not assume that the cause of the new baby death was old age because she wasn’t even 1 year old!
by the way they are "zebra" finch birds
her leg was amputated by a professional vet,he told us that we did not have any other choice but amputate it,and yes the bird cage is pretty big and i am sure it is plenty of room for them to fly and be living in it.As i said al this problem started as soon as the mother hurted her leg,that’s when the babies got to show the agressivity
