Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
Description
Finches are small, gentle birds that come in a dazzling variety of colors. This bird is brightly colored and very social making it a fan favorite. Their song consists of chirping and "beeping" rather than squawking.
- - Finches need the company of other finches to thrive
- - Although social with other finches, they prefer not to interact with people
- - Most Finch species make frequent, pleasant chirping noises
- - Finches need room to fly in their habitat
- - Provide foraging toys, which provide important mental stimulation
- - Finches can be kept with at least one other Finch, preferably more. Finches can be housed with several other flock, non-aggressive species in an aviary. Depending on species, some finches can be housed with other types of finches. Different types of birds should not be housed together
- - Birds should be socialized daily by the pet parent softly talking to the bird

A well-balanced finch diet consists of specialized pellets (should make up 60 to 70% of diet), plus fresh vegetables, fruits and small amounts of fortified seeds. Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded.
Avoid non-stick cookware and appliances, as well as cleaning agents, as they can release fumes hazardous to your bird's health.
