I'm sorry, I used to have finches and I know how sad it is to see them go, I lost a lot due to inbreeding I guess which I didn't know much about back then

The saddest time was when Hope died, one of the babies I was hand raising. She got all cold one night and I slept by her cage. When I woke up the next morning, she was dead.

I really feel for you and give the poor "wife" an extra treat stick from me
