I am here because I am tryying to troubleshoot a situation: I used to have two canaries. They live in separate cages, although they are placed close to one another. Many months ago, one started to lose feathers around his head. Then he would start to be "swollen", "inflated" (not sure if there is a technical way to name this) often'ish. He would start to sing less and less, and in its latter stage of life he would sleep a lot and eat a lot. There was a time where the feces would be too white, and if i recall correctly he felt bad that time, hiding in the floor of the cage and sleeping a lot. But then he improved. Then many weeks, maybe 2-4 months later, he got to that state again and this time passed away... I forgot to mention he also had some sort of blockage in one sinus and had some swelling between the other nostril and the eye. Again, I thought it would be some microorganism biting it and causing damage. I progressively give both (now not both, only the one remaining) 5x/week a pinch of diatomaceous earth, I put it on their food, and in the days where I don't do that (2x/week) I insert a drop of ACV in their water (I prefer a more natural approach over convencional medicine). Because of the feather loss, and because of my house having lots of humidity and helping the formation of mold, I figured those 2 would be good to kill mold or other microorganisms that could be damaging the dead bird when it was alive. Another thing I learned meanwhile is that canaries dont need added gravil in the food, thats just for birds like pigeons who dont remove the shell of the seeds. Could I have overdone it and made the birds congestioned with small gravel bits? Back to the story, I deinfected the bird that passed away's cage and put the remaining one there, because it's bigger, she likes to fly a lot. Now, 2 months have passed since my bird died and I notice this one turning like that too... This bird now only eats and sleeps. It used to fly a lot, now it doesn't move as much. Always "swollen", barely sings when compared to a few months ago... It sleeps waaay too much. With previous birds I had, even having them in a room where people would sleep late and wake up early wouldn't affect them that way. I also thought about EMF's, because they are usually here near internet router, not sure how big of an influence that is on them in this situation. This bird also has a tendency to poop liquid'ish feces, but that's been a staple since i have her here. Sometimes I would notice some mold forming in them, and I would clean that right away when I spot it. So, I think it's all said and done. I read some posts here and I realize I can put her to get more sunlight. She is near a window by morning, she takes some sun, but I guess direct sunlight is way better? I'm not sure whether sun obtained through a window helps enough or not. All bird keepers, what do you recommend me to do? I don't want this one to die too... Vet is too expensive for me right now, what can I do at home to help my bird? Been taking care of birds for over 10 years and this never happened...
@@finchforum6466 i get my zebra finch at the vet and she said that she have a big chance of being pregnant but she also have problems with breathing because there was cold or hot randomly. Now i put it in my bedroom and she is trying to pull out the egg. In my room is the perfect themperature so i think now she will be ok. I cleaned up the cage and i see my female finch isnt breathing with the beak open now. Now i wonder how many egg she will have

but mine is a baby
why did zebra finches is gettein tears of there fethers off??
Finches can tear their feathers off if they’re stressed, and if they do it too much it may become a habit. Try not to stress them out.

My zebra finch is breathing with the beak on!🙁
May be Air sac mites.
Please go to the vet and treat immediately.
Seperate the Finch from the cage.
