Question
Hello agian.I have a question about our baby finches foot.He was born June 30 2012.We noticed that he is not using his left foot and when he tries to walk he limps.Is this all right or should we do something about it.If we do what and if we can't do anything will he live?

Answer
What kind of limp? Does the leg move at all? It could be that the leg just doesn't work for whatever reason. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. Since the bird is so young, it will learn to adapt to one leg. Just make sure there's a place for him to rest while he getting used to it
