Linda B passed away overnight.

We had assumed she had some neurological issues which is why her parents hadn’t fed her. We have been hand feeding her for about 5 weeks and she seemed to be doing really well, flying and eating some in her own. She was normal last night and gone this morning when we woke.

Whenever I fed Linda, Hermione always flew out to be with us. Sometimes observing from the tops of cabinets but usually wanting to eat what I was feeding Linda. They slept together every night and were often perched side by side during the day. We know Hermione won’t do well as a single bird. How quickly do we need to find her a friend? I’m not able to get one from the same flock (1700 miles away) and don’t want to buy from a pet store. I’m just not sure what my timeline needs to be. TIA

Linda has gone from an ugly baby to a cute fledgling. She and Hermione like to be close. Linda is still on hand feeds and Hermione always joins us.

This is Linda Bird Johnson. My friend volunteers with a bird rescue and ended with around 30 society finches. She does not want them long term and has been slowly rehoming them. This little one wasn’t being fed by mama so we’ve been tag-teaming feeds every two hours. I also have her sister (or cousin), Hermione, who already eating on her own.
