3/18/2024 0 Comments Female society finch![]() ![]() Society Finches are active birds therefore, they require a large cage to fly around comfortably. Once you get a Society Finch, here are some of the things you need to consider to ensure your bird lives comfortably. If they try to bite you, they only deliver a little pinch because they have a small beak.Īmong other Finch bird species, they are the most peaceful Finches. Because these Finches are very peaceful, they only get startled and start to fly in the enclosure when they aren’t nesting or eating. They are challenging to handle because of their small size. In case of an attack, they’ll be the first to back down if confronted by a more aggressive finch. They are non-aggressive, friendly, and have an ideal temperament to co-exist with other bird species. Society Finches thrive well in the company of other birds and will adapt well to living in groups. They help in fostering abandoned chicks, which is also an essential breeding technique. They have highly developed parental instincts and will breed easily.īecause of their social personalities, breeders and zoos use them as foster parents for the chicks of other species. Just like their name, these birds are very social. Image Credit: stanbalik, Pixabay Temperament This bird is an ideal pet for breeders who want an easy-to-breed bird with an exciting history. While the Society Finch is a very popular cage and lab bird, the parent species are not present in zoos or private collections. According to its ancestry, this bird is assumed to be a crossbreed of the White-backed Munia and sharp-tailed finch species. As the only Finch that doesn’t live in the wild, they are believed to have been developed in Asia by Japanese and Chinese breeders. You’ll get lots of help here.The history of this bird species is pretty unclear because, unlike other pet birds, they are not present in the wild. Play some youtube finches for them and see how they act. And of course if you get eggs that’’s a little clue. Could you post photos of them, and we’ll try to help you see what they are? Also if they sing they are males. So it is their treat.Ģ males will indeed mount each other, the more dominant one usually mounting the other. The canary seed wont hurt them, but you do need to switch. That will take care of air sac mites as well as others. Put that in the water 2 days each week for 3 weeks. If you got the thing that hangs on the side of the cage for mites - throw it away NOW. Some people take 2 or even 3 of the 30x18 and connect them together to make one long cage. I believe we should all complain to the manufacturers! A 30x18x18 would house your new babies, but if you want to be especially kind to them get a flight cage (more like 30x18x36 tall). Cages seem to alaways be too tall/not wide enough. I know this is a long post but I've just really fallen in love with these birds and I want to make sure they're happy and well taken care of, please any any help at all is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you all in advance!!! his tummy i guess or like the under part ( not the vent) seems full looking like not puffy but full but again I could just be over analyzing. He's a lso nesting a lot more in general but much more than boo. ![]() at first i thought it was air sac mites ( which im considering treating for just in case) but the sound is 100% definitely coming from his beak. Now atticus seems a bit less vocal then usual (could be in my head because im paranoid about their health a little), but he'salso been kind of pecking at the food and water bowls and like chewing? on the edges on their swing like the metal part and today I just noticed that hes doing this clicking sound with his beak. ![]() The past few days, maybe a week now, (oh i added a little nest maybe a week and a half ago if that's relevant) theyve been seeming sort of like they're fighting and one will mount the other. I got a preventative thing to put on the side of the cage and spray once or twice a week and it seemed to clear up ( from both, boo eventually started acting the same too). The first week or two atticus seemed to have lice or mites or something as he was very restless and puffy and seemed like he was pecking and cleaning himself a lot. They have perches and a bath and they generally seem pretty happy as far as my limited knowledge can tell. I also offer a small bit of different fruits, veggies, or eggs daily. I offer them a diet of mixed seeds, a canary and finch mix, which i just learned a few minutes ago is probably not the best so come pay day that will be fixed. They dont have quite the proper enclosure *yet* i believe it's a bit too tall and not wide enough, I'm working on that and should have them in something a bit roomier soon. I dont know how old they are but I do know that they were purchased at a bird fair in Fresno, CA. Hello! so I received 2 male society finches as a gift, named atticus and boo.
