Hi, not sure if anyone can help as I have a poorly Zebra Finch (sorry if this is parrots only). He is one of a pair, aged 11yrs and has in the past 24hrs, stopped hopping around his cage, he flaps about but has lost his balance and his breathing is rapid. One eye is glazed over, is there anything I can do to help him?

Sorry for your loss. 11 yrs is a long time for a finch. That says you took very good care of it
And had a great life with you.

Oh no. I am so sorry. I was working this morning and didn’t see that @Mantis64 had tagged me. But there was probably not a lot you could do.

At 11, your finch had a great and long life. You must have given him the best of care. Please know you did everything you could.

This forum does include finch and canary owners, so please stay with us.
