so this is my finch story i rescued 4 zebra finches a mated pair and their offspring one day i walked in to find the father killed one of the babies judging from the coloring it started to get male markings which i've seen males kill each other if theres only one female so next day same thing happened (i was trying to get a second cage for the young one but didn't in time) well i ended up getting my second cage for weaned babies anyway and put the mom and dads nesting box back in after a month or two, they were doing fine always happy and chirping (i loved being greeted by a bird song whenever i entered my room) i fed and watered them this morning as always then this evening when i went to take some pictures of my leopard geckos i didn't hear their song when i walked into my room so i look down at the bottom of the cage and there they are bloodied and missing feathers like they had just gone after each other ferociously theres nothing sharp in their cage and nothing remotely predatory that can get to them so the only thing i could think of is they killed each other.
it's so weird they were getting along fine this morning and had been for months in all my years having finches i've never seen that happen before so now i miss my birds and i'm sad i just wanted to vent a little i guess and ask if anything similiar has happened to anyone else. rest in peace meep family i enjoyed you
