finches

Hello, I know the breeding season has just begun for 2025, and soon, there will be finches in stock once again. Plus, a more extensive variety. I want to be ahead rather than behind in locating potential breeders for Gray Singing & Yellow-Faced Star Finches. Preferably, I hope to find someone...

Hello Looking to source the best seed mixes for finches. I live in Barcelona Spain.

Hello. I am currently looking for a species to cohabitate with my bourkie Thistle. My other bourkie recently died and I am interested in a new species due to the manner of his death. My top two species purely based on aesthetics are star finches and a strawberry finches. Ideally, I would want a...

I am the owner of 2 diamond doves and 2 society finches. I recently crocheted a nest liner for the nest in their cage, wanting to make it more cozy for them and expecting them to enjoy it. They are very put off by the liner I made for them and don’t want to get in the nest when I put it in...

Hi, Sorry if this is not in the right category, I’m very new to this forum! I currently have two zebra finches. I’ve kept many different species of parrots and passerines but have settled down and am pretty happy with my two little finches. For a long time I’ve felt that they need an upgrade...

Natural perches for free to good home. SACRAMENTO, CA Hello! I wanted to offer up some stands that I made for my budgies but aren't able to use because of my household situation. They are made of two high quality birch wood plywood that was garnished and I added wheels to the bottom. Then...

Hey Everyone! When I first got Will and Arlo I didn’t cover their cage at night because my friend with budgies said they can get night terrors if you cover them the first night. So I decided to wait till they were settled in. I have had them for a while now, (over a month I believe) and I still...

I know that you are supposed to have two or 6+ finches, not 4, when you have male-female pairs, but what about all female? Could you keep 4 females together?

Hey guys! I joined a week or two ago and can’t remember if I introduced myself but I don’t think I did. :oops: Hi! I’m Ori, I have a dog (A Pekingese +Shih Tzu + Maltese + Yorkshire terrier mix) named Ozzie, a Roborovski hamster named Ink Blot, two rats named Cookie and Chippi, and two female...

Everyone… meet my baby girls Will and Arlo! (As in my favorite musical artists, Will Wood and Arlo Parks) Arlo is the fawn one, and Will is the gray.

Just announcing that I’m getting my first birds, zebra finches, tomorrow! Im so excited! If anyone has tips on the first few days and getting birbs settled in, that would be appreciated!

I am looking for a breeder for a variety of finches, and there are none in my state (Massachusetts). I have come across a breeder online that has all of the birds I’m looking for, called Lee’s exotic birds, and I’m wondering if any of you guys have purchased from him and/or know if it’s legit...

Hello! I am new to finch owning, and I am thinking of getting a mixed finch aviary in the future. Where I live (Massachusetts) there are only Zebra and Society finches available easily, and the only way to get the more uncommon finches I want is through shipping. What are your guys thoughts on that?

Hello! I am new to finches, (I’m getting my first in a few days) and am thinking of possibly getting a mixed aviary sometime in the future. I was wondering if you can keep a single of a type of finch In a mixed non-breeding (all female) group. (Example one owl finch with other pairs of other...

I am new to finches, I’m getting my first (zebra finches) in a week. I am thinking of buying a second a very large flight cage, and starting a mixed finch cage. I am wondering if any of you know if Gouldians, star finches, and society finches would do well together. Thanks!

Hello! We have 3 birds: Holmes (Zebra Finch) and Maus (Society Finch) and Lucca (male Canary). Holmes was best friends with his buddy, Watson, who sadly passed last year. Maus became his buddy afterward. Then we brought Lucca into our home. We recently got them a large divided cage. Each side...

Today, when I was hand-feeding my female zebra finch Flower, I looked at her feet and saw something I did not expect. Her feet were covered in white stuff (probably scaly mites) and the part of her feet between the three-toe section and the hallux was pink. So I am thinking that they have...

Hi! My uncle had about 50 finches in a large cage but got sick and the birds were contributing to breathing problems so I inherited them. I always loved these birds and planned on taking some off of his hands at some point but now I have them all first off I am now aware that 50 finches in...

Should I get a new finch even tho mine is probably old? Like 4, 5 maybe?

Hello Everyone, I am new here, and I was guided here by @Atomiklan to seek out some advice regarding his society finch, Atticus, and my zebra finch, Boo. I have a fair amount of experience with birds, having raised a couple of wild birds and also rehabbing several abused/neglected parakeets. A...
