I rescued a zebra finch from a feed store. She was in bad shape due to being picked on by other birds. Her back was raw and some of her toes were missing. I had to pay full price for her (the lady had no heart). I felt I had to save this little bird. She is so happy now in her big cage, eating very well, loves new sprouts and comes to me whenever she thinks I'm going to feed her. The problem is she is still losing toes. I gave her smaller perches and a towel to set in at night. She seems very healthy otherwise. (a happy little bird). Could the toes have already been damaged by the other birds? Thanks, Linda
