this past summer my Zebra finches had a clutch of eggs. two hatched. I came home from work one day and there was one baby dead on the grate and another one struggling on the grate. I remembered an article in birdtalk, so I got the baby out (he was about 3 days old) and we started to feed. I used a very very small syringe and fed him every 2 hours around the clock for the first 3 days. I took him everywhere, to work, all over.
To make a long story short, Bubba is alive!!!! He made it...He is beautiful and hand tame. He flies to your shoulder and loves to cuddle in your hand and be stroked. What a mush..so never give up, sometimes the outcome is unbelieveable
