HEALTH
I have a pair of Gouldian Finches. This evening the cat managed to grasp the male's wing with his paw. The wing is at an angle and was bleeding slightly. I have taped his wing to his body and placed him in a small box with soft tissues. I would like to know his chances of surviving. I am not worried if he won't fly again, we will still care for him regardless, breeding is not a primary goal, but will he still be able to perch and live normally? Will the shock of it kill him? How long will it take to heal? They are both beautiful, I love their beautiful whistle. I maintain them daily with clean water and food. They had got to the stage of landing on my hand. They have become a part of the family in their little spot, every member stops constantly to whistle back to them. I pray he survives. Hope you can answer my questions.. Thanks in advance. Sue.
