I have 3 male finches and 3 female finches, and when I got them they were all In the same cage and the males built the nests with store bought thread and It all was well. Then about a month later we were struck with tragedy when we lost a male when He escaped his cage got scared when someone entered the room and slammed into the window and broke his neck, Then we lost a female when we found her dead in the nest, Not sure what happened to her but it looked like she panicked when she got her foot trapped in the wicker nest (her leg was pulled out of shape) Anyway........... We had no Idea who was with who and which female and male died or anything. So we got another male and female (always from different places to deter inbreeding) and we split the males and females into separate cages for about a week then we were going to put them all back in the same cage, After 3 days of separation I was surprised to see on the ground of the male cage a huge bundle of nesting material that was on the ground of the female cage the day before.......Now here's where I get confused, the male and female cages were apart by 6" and about 2" lower. How the hell would that happen? No one takes care of them but me (my wife doesn’t even know what the white "stuff" is for) and have not or could not escape (or if they did could not get back in) Any Ideas on how this is possible?
