Bird Hospital.....

This is my blurry picture of my rehab birds. I have many birds that were given to me by students when I was teaching in the public schools. It was like a bird rescue so to speak. I kept most of them in my classroom until I retired. As birds are like chickens, the Finches have a pecking order. In this cage that is shown are actually three birds. I have a male Zebra Finch that others think that he shouldn't have feathers around his neck area. I had to remove him to keep him alive and put him in this hospital so to speak. These two birds in the picture are best friends as they can't seem to grow tail feathers. I removed the female finch, one on the right, years ago to keep her alive as she also can't fly very well. She spends most of her time at the bottom of the cage on a low roost I put in just for her. The one on the left is a Society Finch which has a really neat song and she just likes to keep the female Finch company. So at night, or in the day, for naps they sit beside each other to rest.
It really is my hospital wing for birds as the two cages of Cockatiels are all doing fine and the one cage of Parakeets are happy and the rest of the Finches in one other cage are all healthy. Five cages if you were trying to count. I am going to give the three healthy Finches to a friend some of these days so there will be less beaks to feed.
