Red birds in Queretaro

I found one that was hurt in the garden and pickd him up and put him in a large parrot cage to protect him from cats and dogs. The vet told me these birds cannot live in captivity and have to catch the insects in flight. I put insects in the cage dead and alive, he did not touch them, I put seeds and fruit, hoping for fruit flies, same thing. The only thing he ate was chili piquin which I noticed they eat . He ate lots f them but only lasted 3 days. On the third day he died.[/reply

Aawwww, sad story.]
