Hello all I have 2 breeding pairs of finches that I keep in my aviary (they have a lot of babies lol that's all them in the picture) and I sell them as a breeder. When my 2 pairs are alone (without any babies) in the off seasons they tend to argue and it was recommended to me to get 2 more birds because they don't work well in 4s. This time I'd rather get 2 of the same gender though, would this cause problems still? Would it be better to get 2 males or 2 females?

Is there a place to get grass seeds that for sure don't have any like pesticides or chemicals for bird feed. Also is grass seed a good option or is it bad for them? Thank you in advance :)

I am getting a pair of finches for the first time in like 35 years. I've bought an 18x30x36 cage. I'm gonna outfit it with natural, different sized perches, some fake ivy, and toys. My main concern now is lighting. I see that's highly recommended now. I'd appreciate any suggestions on a full spectrum light source that doesn't break the bank, as my bank account is already broken. Lol. Thanks.

It is the bird seed that my finches normally eat. Is it healthy and good to give them in that form?

So my bird was fine a few hours ago and suddenly she was sitting in the bottom of the cage and she was clearly in pain, I immediately took her to the vet (the one I always go to really good vet )so after a few tests the diagnosis was worms, the problem is she was fine sense i got her 6 months ago and there was no signs at all i think if the problem is worms shouldn't the symptoms be gradually appearing?I wanted him to run more tests like poop analysis(witch they do by the way) but he refused and said Im over reacting, i want a second opinion but the nearest Bird vet is literally seven hours away. I think the vet didn't want to give her the proper care because he thinks it's just a "cheap bird"because he always do a proper check if it was one of my lovebirds I don't know if i should gave her the medicine he gave me because I don't think his diagnosis is valid but if I didn't give her the medicine I don't know what to do and she is really really sick

Note: i know the cage is so small but this is not her cage it's just the traveling cage

I have four sparrows. This one is Pippin. She rarely lets me pet her but since she did late last night, I’m taking it as a sign of an illustrious new year. Happy new year, bird people!

Hi all just wondering what Vitamins and preventative care supplements you all are giving your finches throughout teh year and during breeding season if you're breeding or allowing to breed.

so i've posted about her before, but for a little context this is a bird i took in around a month and a half ago after she had been pretty badly bullied where she was before. she's been recovering well with me and growing most of her feathers back, i even introduced her to a friend very recently and they're getting along great. the thing is, she has this red abscess on her back that still isn't looking great. it was bleeding when i first took her in and i used iodine on it which seemed to work well, but since then it's been like this but getting smaller.

it's way smaller now than it was at first, but the fact it's still there after a month and a half is worrying me, so i wanted to know if anyone here has an idea what it could be. she also acts pretty normal and doesn't seem too bothered by this at all, so i wouldn't want to stress her out with a vet visit if it's something that's going to go away on its own or i can do something about myself.

So, i really want two gouldian finches. In the shop they have just two, but one it is not in good condition, it seems lacking feathers and a little sick from a quick view. Do you recommend me to take it or not? I have other birds. Any another Advise for this bird?

Hey guys i want to give my zebra finches some oat-egg-carrot mix to fat and grow babies faster. Is that a good idea? (The oat that i eat at breakfast)

Title. Our lone finch is still grieving over her mate and we want to give her some time, but we also have five other finches coming from different places (two are in pairs, one is a lone CFW male). What would the best way be to introduce them and eventually have them get along?

I have two pure white finches. they had babies. the babies have some grey feathers on their head. will those 'turn' white or will the babies always have a slightly grey head?

I picked a micropet just for you!

I've noticed that my finch will throw away infertile eggs but keep the fertile ones but how do they know I can't find anything on Google.
