The finch is a wonderful pet and very popular with people who live in apartments, have homes, have other pets or have children or a combination of all of these.
The more common varieties include the Society Finch, the Zebra Finch and the Gouldian Finch. These finches come in a variety of colors and they have very unique personalities.
Very social in nature and they do not mind sharing their cages with other finches as long as the cage is large enough for them to fly and roam around in the cage. They must have the room to fly from one perch to another with no accessories in their way so do not overcrowd your cages with perches, toys or containers.
They simply need maybe one toy, a portable branch to perch on, because they love variety and a mirror because they love to look at themselves?. They like having baths so pampering them once a week is ideal, and they love to roll around in moist grasses so damp dandelion leaves and grasses are a treat when you sprinkle them around the bottom of their cages.
They do best in a group that is approximately the same size bird as they are so avoid larger birds like parakeets or other hard-billed birds that might become aggressive toward the finch because it is smaller in size.
Also if there is overcrowding, the birds can pick at the feathers of those birds around them. If you notice fighting or bullying the birds need to be separated from the others that are behaving like that in the cage.
Finches are known to be friendly, active and happy birds so any other behavior might indicate there is a problem with your feathered friend. Finches prefer to play with other finches so do not require a great deal of attention from their human owner. they can be finger tamed with patience.
For grooming, they will let you place them in your palm on their back. Be sure you wrap your fingers around them gently with the forefinger and thumb on either side of the head to support them. In this position you can trim their nails.
You will be entertained for hours by these birds because they have a tendency to be quieter yet engaging. They don't cost a lot and will certainly provide hours of entertainment with their quirky little personalities. They can be really busy and enjoyable to watch with their singing and happy little voices. They are such unique little creatures and fun to own as pets.
