help me on my finches!please!?

Question

my zebra finch (the girl) is loosing her feathers on the neck part and im seeing a transparent bag like thing that contains little things inside. i dont know whats happening please help and explain it to me...

Answer 1

I don't know without actually seeing it, but it's probably her gizzard. When birds eat food itgoes into the gizzard first which is in the neck. You are more than likely seeing that while it has seed in it, which will make it bumby looking.

Answer 2

If you have a pair of finches (male and female)
the male will sometimes pick at the females head and neck causing loss of feathers. This is done when he is trying to get her to mate.
Put a nest in the cage and some nesting materials on the floor of the cage and it will keep the male busy building. You will probably
have eggs in a short time and baby finches in about 18-21 days. The sack you see or bag as you call it is her crop. This is like her stomach. Birds don't have stomachs like us but that pouch you saw. This is where the seeds go and from there are ground up to furnish food for her survival.
If you don't want her being picked on you will have to separate the two birds. Finches are very social birds and are happiest together.
It is a lot of fun to see the baby finches hatch and grow up.
Good luck.

Answer 3

She may have mites. Males sometimes over preen each other, but that does not explain the strange sack. You should let an avian Dr. Look at that.
