r/Finches

Been happening for a few days now.. Astra not letting Astro in the tent... I guess I will have to arage divorce lawyers now 🤦🏻 😂

Is not in this video part tho

I could watch her for hours 😭

1 adopted chick

How will their offspring look like?

Male is pied/penguin miks. Female is standard with black breast.

I tried to help him out…

I'm so obsessed with these two??? Like I could literally watch them beep and eat all day idk. 🥹😆

js came to update on my babies they are doing super well and we have bonded quite well and even made an instagram account @/coricoarchive if anyone wants to follow 🫶🏻 i hope yall babies are healthy and happy!!

Noticed our female finch is fluffed up, closing her eyes and has her head in her feathers, is she with an egg?! Seriously worried, we've had this pair for a few months, my family has experience with larger parrots

Only noticed this last night but unsure cause I'm at work a lot

Need some help asap

Update : Unfortunately she has passed last night (18.08.26), we did everything we could, gave medicine for sick birds, crushed calcium and kept her warm but unfortunately it was enough. Her mate is sad and has been quiet, but he got to say goodbye to her, I'm absolutely gutted as there had been nothing wrong with her before and then bam she is lethargic, unmoving and not eating. We didn't have time to take her to the vet as our exotic vet travels as they're hard to come by where we live, thanks for all the help

Hello! These are my birdies! I got them yesterday, and I am still learning as this is my first ever time owning birdies! Their names are Cigarette bud and Mr Cheddar/Cheddar cheese!

I would like some tips and tricks on how to care for zebra finches, what to expect, how to get them used to me atleast (possibly befriending/taming them), their diets, what to feed them, cages and all that stuff! But budget friendly please, I'm not rich! Anything would be helpful, thank you very much!

Hi all! I have a bird buddy and this finch came by. He has a growth under his neck and I can’t tell if it is avian pox or not (based on comparing it to Google image results). Does anyone know if it looks like avian pox or just a tumor? I want to make sure the other bird visitors are safe so if it is pox I will take the feeder down and clean in bleach and wait a few weeks to reinstall.
Thank you!

Only 7 months old:(
Don’t know name of disease, vets was unsure.
Got meds but 3 days and sorry.
She was so sweet…miss her.
The feather hanging is weird too…

He is trying his best at whatever he's trying to do ! 😆

I have 4 zebra finches (2m/2f). One of the ladies passed and I replaced her with another lady for my lonely male. It's been 5 months and they still haven't paired off. The new lady sleeps with the paired group and the single male sleeps on his own.

Would you recommend giving it more time because of their age gap? Or, bring in a 3rd pair? My cage is 46 inches long.

Something really weird to note. My unpaired male is my oldest zebra and he has never sang or beeped. 100% mute. Nothing wrong with him, but he makes no sounds.

They have all came from the same breeder.

Hello! I’m looking to get a bigger cage for my boys! I was wondering if you had any ideas for good ones? I’m looking for a long flight cage with no separator in the middle preferably less than 4 feet long as I’m limited in space. I’ve had a bit of trouble finding one without a separator so I’m looking for suggestions. Pictures of my boys included.

I will eventually add another gouldian as I just had one pass away recently (she was a blue girl with lots of health issues) but I was thinking of adding another finch ideally one but two if necessary I’d love one that would like being handled since my goldies don’t but it’s not a requirement. Here’s my set up.
