My owl finch died today.

I didn't even know he was sick...unfortunately, birds don't let you know they are sick usually until it's too late.



I feel so bad, I woke up today and all the finches would not eat or drink, they were all standing on the highest perch, except for the mate of the dead owl finch...he was sitting in his cup (they use it as a nest) with his dead mate.

I had no idea he died until I checked the cup. Now the surviving mate is making this whailing sound, and he won't eat...just standing on the top perch whailing and looking around. This is so sad.
