I was wondering how long they keep their crop, I can't find anything online (I am talking about how long they actually use one, not how long it takes to digest a full crop)

I have two pairs of finches and one keeps chasing the other male like crazy. They’re in a big cage and have plenty of perches and feeding stations.

I have 6 Gouldians and two owls and the Gouldians are currently molting (one is super rough looking 🤣). But I feel like most of them already molted earlier this year. I’ve only had them just shy of a year and wasn’t sure if this was normal. Thank you!

I've never really thought about it until I noticed my boy's nails, they were quite long and made me wonder. " do I need to trim finches nails??!"

It's my first time owning society finches, they laid eggs right after I bought them. Last night the eggs started to hatch

What diet/foods should I be feeding them so they can properly take care of their hatchlings 🥺

I'm still doing research on how to properly care for them.

I was told the one in the back is albino, and he loves to sing. I am assuming these are both males but I have no idea how to tell how old they are. Their names are Wedge Antilles (white) and Biggs Darklighter (grey).

I’d love to know more about others’ experiences caring for Java finches as I’ve only owned budgies in the past.

Finally got a beautiful picture of my female owl finch

Just out of curiosity to make sure I don’t overcrowd my cage, how many perches should I keep in a 30x18x18 cage for my 2 zebras. I know 4 is the minimum to make sure they have their own perches, but is there a max amount so I don’t make it too crowded?

Hello, I’ve had parakeets but I’m new to finches. I’m wondering what your must-haves are before bringing your finches home? I’m interested in either getting a pair of gouldian finches, or owl finches. I have a 38” wide flight cage but nothing else yet.

• how many food/water dishes?

• what do you use for the bottom grate (I use paper towels for my parakeet)

• do they require a light if they’re in a sunny room?

• do you cover them at night like parakeets?

• best types of toys?

• any other must-haves?

Thanks so much for the tips in advance!

I don't really want them to breed, but I also definitely don't want them to kill each other for obvious reasons. I was wondering if two females would work best, or if getting 4 males or females would avoid them getting aggressive best. Or do I have to get opposite sexes? I was also wondering what I should do about free flying. My grandparents (where I'm keeping them) are pretty protective of their furniture, so do I have to let them free fly? And if so, should I prepare a certain environment? I have most of the stuff with their cages and diets prepared, but I couldn't find great answers on this.

Ummm.... I found this guy in my front yard dehydrated and hungry but easy to catch. There are no local missing ads currently. Nonetheless I am on my way to find him proper acomodations in the mene time.

In your opinion what's the most special/rare or cool type of finch and why?

For research purposes of course.
