Absolutely! I could never understand why there's the belief out there that finches can't be hand-tamed. In Japan, they are typical pet birds that are very tame. My java rice finch was never clipped and we would go out together all the time...he would be in my pocket, or flying around my head. I had him for several years.
In America, I had Pee wee, a finch that had the run of my house, never lived in a cage, and had perfect recall. Those were the days before I had parrots, but he was a gem and my constant companion.
I would love to see pics too!!That is so cool! Do you have any pics??
Unfortunately not, because I had my java rice finches in Japan which was when I was in high school which was decades ago! And no digital cameras either.I would love to see pics too!!

Of course, hand raising them as a day old baby gives you a very tame bird! And finches don't bite.
My Chip never lost his tameness! As I said, I took him out all the time unclipped, and he would never leave me, and I lived in a big city...Tokyo!oh yes they do iv gotten bitten by EGG all the time and also they can lose there tamness
it dosnt hrt but i can tell EGG is doing it on purpose he dosnt atack. also i guss it would be easyer if i didnt have a flock of finches.sorry if i sounded rudeIt wasn't in their nature.
