Why are my finches huddled in their nest and not moving much?

Question

My two finches have a little bit of yellow urate but the poop is still brown. And my finches are both in their nest huddled together, but they are not moving much as before. There is no smell in poop. They are sleeping at 7:04 and they didn’t sleep much last night. I took them outside and they started coming out of their nest. Now they are back inside. Are they sick?

It's possible, however it may be that your finches are nesting together to try and lay eggs/raise a family. They may also be cold depending on their location, and so are staying in the nest for more warmth. Making sure their cage is kept clean, they are not in a drafty or cold area, and that they have access to food and water can help. Checking the nest for any eggs can also alert you to if they are trying to raise a family. If you suspect they are ill, or they are showing symptoms such as completely listless behavior, not eating or drinking, diarrhea, vomiting, etc, then scheduling a vet visit to rule out any health issues is always best.
