Zebra Finches

These little birds can live to be about eight to ten years old and enjoy living with other zebra finches. Most zebra finch owners enjoy watching their birds fly around their cage and interact with each other. This type of small bird is usually not kept as pet that you can play with or hold. Finches are perfect for someone who has the time to take care of a bird, but does not
necessarily want to spend time handling it.

    If you decide to get finches, be sure to buy more than one. Zebra finches are very active and need a lot of space. Make sure you buy a cage that is big enough for the finches to fly around. Because they are so small
and fly so quickly, they should not be allowed to fly free. With enough space in their cage and a few perches to rest on, your finches will be happy to live with each other.

    Zebra finches get their name because the black and white striped coloring at the neck is like a zebra’s sripes. However, there are many color possibilities in zebra finches, and some may have splashes of yellow on
their cheeks and bright red beaks. Zebra finches are among the most playful small birds, which makes them fun to watch.
