My bird is loosing feathers aroung the neck and middle of the head down to the beak. I want to know if it might be sick or nervenous. He has been thru alot with moving and we lost 2 birds already one was sick when it was born nothing catching and the other was found a home. If anyone could help us out it sure would be appreciated. Oh! one more we are feeding like five mealworms a day is this good for him.
i posted in another thred “scared to let my baby teil fly” well turns out i had good need to worrie,i became so worried about my baby birds condition, i rang a expert who came to my home to check “Dusty” and he said that “he” as store sold him was in fact a “she” and that she was approx 8 weeks old NOT “12 weeks plus” as sold, he said she was suffering from server malnutrition and her lack of head feathers looked like the result of other birds “ripping them out of her head” 
she was in such a bad way that she has had to be taken in to recive specalist care and is being feed from a spoon every 2 hours,a deiet used for new born chicks, i only had dusty 2 days and i knew from day one something wasnt right, so why do stores employ ppl to look after animals with out first making them take “what i think” should be compulsry training course?
i was told had i not contacted for help Dusty would have been lucky to make it through the weekend, how do workers in these stores sleep at night?

i found this baby bird outside and it was getting cold so i brought him in, the nest that he fell from was above my head and i couldnt get to it. he wasnt hurt from the fall but the nest was inside of a box on an electric pole i dont think that i should have messed with it, and if i were to open the box i woud have disturbed the whole nest. well i have had it for 2 nights, i frequently wake up to feed it…its a pain but i want it to live. i have been feeding it diluted dog food and it seems to be healthy. i was just wondering what type of bird it is so that i know how to better take care of it.

ok the bird squawking with a click sound and its head going up and down, And it is a baby still hand feeding once aday. But it i feed it twice aday because it not eating the other food the pet store had her on. Please help it is getting to us.
okay here goes the story. i have just gotten two zebra finches recentaly. a male (romeo) and a female (juliet), they seem to be mating because romeo keeps jumping on juliet’s head and back. the only problem is that i was reading simalr questions on tthis program , and some of them said that they wont lay eggs unless they have a wooden nesting box!! is this true?
the birds do have a breeding nest that was bought at a pet store and it would fit into there cages better than a wooden one. it said breeding nest on the front so … you figure. i am sure that it is fine i just am curious. also how small are the eggs compared to a certain coin?
thank you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated!!
