Does the Chaffinch regurgitate food for its chicks? we feed meal worms to the NZ North Island Tomtit, and a pair of Chaffinchs also 'geting in on the act', eating 5 - 6 meal worms each! Quite impressive.

The father of my all white baby finch keeps chasing pecking not allowing her to perch now the mother’s is showing signs of bullying but at the same time they feed her along with the two dark in colour finches I find it quite sad as they have only left the nest about a two weeks ago or less the mother and father continue to mate I now have two eggs in food bowl as I removed the nest box for this reason as they have only just had this litter of chicks I just need to know why they are being so rotten to this one little chick she can’t do wright for doing wrong it’s sad to watch as they are not ready to be separated although they do try the seed and water but still ask to be fed please help thankyou.

Our zebra finches finally hatched thier first babies today do we need to give them special food or just stick with dead meal worms and seed, lettuce any advice would be fantastic as everyone has conflicting comments. Cheers

our zebra finches had 4 eggs in their nest, but the next day the eggs were gone. Could they possibly be under the hay in the nest buried or did the finches somehow get rid of them? I don't want to disturb the nest at all just in case they are buried under the hay and I just don't see them.

One of my month old fledglings refuses to feed on his/her own. It is little smaller and slower than 2 others born a week later from a different pair. which feed on their own. They have been separated from the parents. He/she hangs out near the bottom of the cage and pecks at droppings.

I have four fledging Zebra Finches. I have had to hand feed them. How do I get them to eat normal feed from a cup on their own?
