"The Finch Scrapbook, 2025- updates".

[Terry57]

How did I miss this thread for so long! Becky & Becky sure hit the lotto when you brought them home, dear sister! I can't wait to hear how Rb reacts to them in the same room, please please take video!
I adore finches, I'm down to one really old Gouldian now and I miss my Zebras. You may have inspired me to get more
Mine always loved swings and bells. They also really liked branches from our Lilac in their cage. And they adore taking baths!

Here's a pic of our flights back when they were full. The top was for fancy finches and the bottom was Zebras.

I've always heard that seeds should still be a part of their diet even if they also eat pellets...that's like the best of both worlds When my females were laying eggs I also added crushed oyster shells to their food for the calcium. A cuttlebone would also work but mine really weren't interested in it

I am oft portrayed as a curmudgeon and a bird antagonist, in particular a mortal enemy of the Rickeybird. Not altogether untrue.

However, I actually LIKE the finches. They are tiny, cute, harmless, pretty.
There ya go. I stand redeemed.

Wow, I did not have this on my 2025 Bingo card, yay! I'm so glad that we don't have to change your name to Rival_of_the_Rickeybird_and_the_Beckys
