What is “Star Gazing” or “Twirling”?
They are the same thing. It was originally called Star Gazing and recently also referred to as Twirling. The first time I ever witnessed Twirling first hand was in a Gouldian Finch. It is most common in Gouldians but it can affect other types of finches. No one can quite agree on what causes Twirling. It is either an infection, and injury, a genetic fault, or stress. It could also be the combination of several of those factors..
