It will take time, effort and plenty of patience. Start by placing your hand in the cage several times daily, leaving it there for ever increasing periods each time. You can try to offer Meep small treats, such as a bit of fruit. Eventually, she should come near your hand and land on your finger. Once she lands and perches on your hand regularly, you can try taking her out of the cage in a small, safe room for short periods of time.

Ideally, the more space the better, and three birds should have a flight cage that is big enough for them to fly back and forth horizontally in (finches tend to like horizontal rather than vertical cages). You also want to make sure each bird has their own access to food, water, and bedding areas, with dividers such as perches or toys to break up the space and prevent fighting over territory. If you do introduce a new bird, make sure to keep him separated for a week first to prevent the spread of any illness, and to make sure he is healthy enough to be added to the flock before doing so.

Thanks for reaching out about Mordon. Provide supplemental heat in the 80-85 F range with a heat lamp or heating pad under the cage. Removing perches and providing a soft towel on the floor, can give comfort. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about your finch and including photos. A veterinary visit is recommended but understand if one is not available, but only limited things can be done at home. Weakness can have multiple causes, with infections being only one possibility. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some support. Finches eat primarily seed but also need a vitamin/mineral/protein support in the form of a wide variety of vegetables. Provide a soft bedding/towels on the bottom of the cage to protect if falls. Good luck.

It is best to go with the cage that has the most horizontal flight space. Peaked cages are OK looks-wise, but make sure it is safe and feet and wings can't get caught where the edges meet. Avoid round shaped cages as well as it can sometimes stress birds out to not have a corner they can hide and relax in. Any cage should have enough room to move around a bit, have some toys for enrichment, and have a place to quietly rest aside from food and water locations.
