I went to feed and water all my birds last night and found the little blue finch ("Scout") dead in her water bowl. I don't know why birds often die in their water bowls. I guess they feel poorly and go to drink and just keel over....
I have a horrible suspicion that when I switched foods she may have only been eating one particular kind of seed from the old seed mix, and that was missing in the new mix. But that doesn't quite add up, because she was eating millet once I isolated her. She would also spaz out and sit on the ground and stagger around, though. Probably it was something else... and I'll never know what. The other finches are just fine, hopping around and singing and eating. The last time I saw her alive she was on the window side of her cage, sleeping in the sun. She looked happy.
