Ha ha ??I can understand you totally and I am so relieved that your reply to my post has worked. We are all excited as we are just a few days away from fledge time now. Thank you, it is nice to know I have someone to help me as I'm such a novice. ???

Hi Ammy, just to let you know that hanging the tied string has really done the trick and our female now is showing re-growth of all her lost feathers ??

Thank you so very much Emmy. I will certainly give this a go!

I am a new zebra finch owner of only a few weeks. I am delighted with my new little birds who last week successfully hatched three chicks. My problem is that the male finch has now started tugging feathers from the females tail area and I don't know what to do. She doesn't cry out when he does this but I'm sure it can't be nice. If I seperate him then she is left with the stress of feeding the three little chicks herself. What can I do to help this situation?
