The Tiniest Bird You've Ever Seen - Zebra Finch Hatching

  • This is the smallest bird I've ever hatched. After a little Finch had lost her partner, I was asked if she could stay in my big Aviary. When I returned home after picking her up, on the way back she had laid an egg in the little transport box! Birds only do this when they have an egg that needs to be laid.
    I knew there was only a small chance she would accept and hatch this egg in an actual nest herself, but I wanted to try before I set plan B in motion…

Not saying he does that but people did way worse for way less money. Personally i dont know this guy irl, i dont know if he deserves a medal, i am just happy the Finch seems to be doing alright. And if he does that because its the right thing to do then this guy definitly is a big chad. I just cant be sure thats the reasoning behind his actions is what i am saying.

      Yeah birds are weird. When mother birds feed their young babies, they literally stick their whole ass beak into the babies mouth and vomit up food directly into an area in the upper esophagus called the "crop." When birds finally eat on their own, they also collect food in this area before it goes in the stomach. With the baby, you can see the yellow food in the crop after the feeding. This is why it looked like the baby bird was trying to swallow that feeding tube.

    I had finches for a while. They’re the sweetest little things. I had two females and two makes - a pair each of two different kinds. And I ended up with three clutches of eggs over the time I had them. The little ones were taken to a locally owned bird shop to be rehomed. They lived my babies because they were well domesticated. I even saved the life of one of my mama birds. She was passing an egg that broke inside her. I had to carefully remove it and then nurse her back to good health. I had no idea what I was doing but she made a full recovery and developed an even stronger bond with me after that. 💖

    As a small boy I raised a Great Tit, Magpie & blackbird.
    All adapted to their own kind and the magpie came back to see me for about 6 hrs 1 year later. He tapped on my bedroom window, I took him in to mum and dad's bedroom to show him off.
    I fed him, we played together, we visited his old haunts then Monty went. 53 years ago.
    I loved them all.

    I think Jenna is a perfect name. Jenna means "Little Bird" and is what we named our tiny kitten when she jumped from the headrest of the front seat to the headrest of the very back bench of our full sized fan. She was always full of energy and spunk, every day making us laugh at her antics and pull out our hair when her courage led her into some potentially dangerous situations. We had to put her down last year, a few months after her 20th birthday. I think this little bird has just as much spirit and a long, happy life ahead of her. ❤️

They had feathers already, but when she lifted the feathers we could still see the white food through their skin. And she showed how it was still squishy before it was full.
