Finches For Sale
Finches are very popular caged birds. Here at Birdsville we have an average of 40 different species of finches anytime. If you ever watch them closely you will see how amazingly beautiful they really are! Finches are odourless and are very quiet birds with some only making a “peep peep” noise from time to time! This makes them perfect pet for people who want a quiet environment, even just watching them in their cage is very peaceful as they go about their many natural behaviours!
Finch Colours – Finches come in many different colours and shades. Many species can be mixed quite well, if you don’t plan on breeding them always have more females finches in a cage than males. If you have a number of males try to withhold adding them to a cage with a smaller amount of females! As a general rule the male finch is usually more vibrant in colour as well.
Finch Breeding - Finches will readily breed in captivity with some species being more difficult to breed than others and other being quite easy. Different breeds require different nests, some will nest in a box, cane nests or even a cup, and this just depends on the breed. Finches can also be kept in the smallest amount of space due to their tiny size. However, in saying this, there is no such thing as a cage too big for any bird. Bird swings are also very good for finches as this keeps their body strong and healthy from the exercise!
Finch Diet – Finches survive mainly on a simple diet of seed and water. An addition of egg and biscuit into their diet is optional however it is recommended. You can also give them millet sprays as well as tonic and rape seed. Ensure that vitamins are added to their water on a weekly basis. Your finches should also be wormed every 6 months, at least.
