Finches As Pets

By Marjorie J McDonald


The finch is a wonderful pet and very fashionable with people who live in apartments, have homes, have other pets or have youngsters or a combination of all of these. There are many different kinds of finches to select as your pet.

Finches are known to be friendly, active and cheerful birds so any other behavior might indicate there's a issue with your feathered friend. Finches prefer to play with other finches so do not require a good deal of attention from their human owner. They can be finger tamed with a bit of patience.

You will be entertained for hours by these birds because they've a inclination to be quieter yet engaging. They do not cost a great deal and will definitely provide hours of entertainment with their kooky little personalities. They can be actually busy and enjoyable to watch with their singing and content small voices. They are such unique small creatures and fun to possess as pets.

They do well in a group that's approximately the same size bird as they are so avoid bigger birds like parakeets or other hard-billed birds that might become assertive toward the finch because it is smaller in size.

Extremely social in nature and they don't mind sharing their cages with other finches as long as the cage is big enough for them to fly and wander around in the cage. They must have the room to fly from one perch to another with no accessories in their way so don't overcrowd your cages with perches, toys or boxes.

They simply need perhaps one toy, a compact branch to perch on, because they love variety and a mirror because they are keen to look at themselves? They like having baths so pampering them once a week is excellent, and they love to roll around in moist grasses so damp dandelion leaves and grasses are a treat when you spatter them around the base of their cages.
