Hand fed finch

[Milestone]

Hello, I was surfing the web and watched a video with the cutest little finches. They were hand fed and tame! I never knew a finch to want to cuddle and receive a head rub but it did. So I fell in love. I would someday in the future like to have a few. But the trouble is finding someone who has a couple. Is there anyone who knows a finch breeder who will do that in Vancouver BC area? Or someone on AA?

Almost no one hand feeds their finches, as finch chicks are quite fragile and there is a high risk of death. Even if you find someone, I wouldn't buy from there as that's a quite irresponsible breeding practice, and you don't want to support that.

I coparent mine.. offer a few supplementary feedings if needed, and handle them for at least five minutes daily from 10 days to weaned. It makes them a lot calmer, and easier to handle (they will step up) but they really don't like it if I touch their backs. (They peep at me angrily and peck my finger to say, "hands off!" ). And very few people coparent, so you would probably have to do it yourself... and end up with many more finches than expected.
