Finch Guide

About Finches

Want a "low maintenance" Parrot? Finches make great pets for bird fanciers that do not have the time or space for larger pet bird species. Small and beautiful, Finches will delight their owners as they flit about their cages, chattering to each other and displaying interesting bird behavior. Finches can be kept alone in a cage, or in groups in a larger aviary. These small and colorful birds are quiet as birds go, with their noise level closely matching their diminuative size. Finches are a good choice for beginning bird fanciers and breeders. 

They are available in and array of colors, the most common being Zebra (Poephila guttata) and Society (Lonchura domestica) Finches.
