Finches Bird Price in India 2023- Complete Care Guide And Much More.

1. Food –

Bird Food Pellets are going to be the main food for finches, but make sure you buy the right kind and that it’s not too big for them to be able to eat. You should also give them seed mixes But in small amounts only. finches should also be offered fresh vegetables (Thoroughly wash veggies before giving them) every day. You can feed them any type of solid green as well as peas, broccoli, cauliflower and small pieces of pear and apple(Remove the seeds of the fruits). Once a week they should be given small pieces of hardboiled eggs. This doesn’t need to be fed every day, but it’s great to offer it a couple of times a week and you can just mix it in with their vegetables.

Some species of finches require more protein than others. Cordon bleu finches, for example, love getting mealworms every day. 

2. Water- 

Besides food, the other most important part of your bird’s diet is fresh clean water all day every day. Birds need water to survive and smaller birds such as finches can dehydrate in a matter of a few hours. Under the heat, bacterial growth can grow and double very easily in water and food. So, it’s very important to remember to replace fresh food after a few hours of it being offered and also replace water ideally twice per day.

3. Entertainment-

It’s really easy to keep your canaries and finches happy and entertained with simple toys. Birds absolutely love a swing perch, and these are easy to find in pet stores. I also keep a small bag of hay hanging in their cage. This is a little hay bag that I made myself for this purpose. You can easily make one with burlap or other materials. They’ll usually eat a lot of the seeds off of the hay and they just like to spend the day pecking at it and getting into it.

And it just really gives them something to do. A lot of the hay does get wasted, but they’re happy and entertained, so it’s worth it.

4. Finch Proof your Room- 

It is an important reminder that they are sensitive creatures and you need to be very careful around them. There should be no candles or air fresheners used in the same room with them. And you also shouldn’t use hairspray products and hard cleaning products such as disinfectant bleach around them. A lot of people like to put cages in the kitchen. However, this is not always a good idea if the kitchen is not well-ventilated it can have a negative effect on your finches. They are very delicate and you have to be careful about the air around them.

5. Cage Size- 

Canaries and finches should be kept in a large cage about 30 inches wide and 16 inches tall. Of course, the more birds that you have, the bigger the cage will need to be, but this would work for two birds. The cage should be wide instead of tall. Don’t give them a tall cage and never give them a cage that is round. A wide cage will give them plenty of room to fly back and forth, which is what they like to do. Round cages make flying from perch to perch very difficultly for them. There should be a few perches in the cage, but don’t clutter the cage too much. They do enjoy space to be able to jump around and fly from perch to perch.

6. Placement of the cage-

The cage should be placed above the adult’s waist height. Finches are skittish by nature and any surprise approach by a human from above can scare them and cause unnecessary stress. Additionally, if you have dogs or small children, placing the cage at a suitable height helps to avoid the same surprise approaches and allows you to keep your birds safe from harm. Finches have high sensitivity to temperature fluctuations too and drafts can kill so it’s massively important that your cage’s location isn’t near any windy areas such as open Windows, aircon units, open vents, etc the same goes for the other end of the spectrum so no space heaters or heat vents in very close proximity.
