When you say birds, there are many types of birds. There are flamingos, sparrows, parrots, etc. For example, finches are a type of bird; not to mention the different types of finches: strawberry and spice, society, red headed parrot, and zebra just to name a few.
Enough Room for Fly and Play
Such birds should be kept in cages or aviaries. If you plan to put them in a cage, make sure that there is enough room for them to fly and play. They would not survive in a small cage. The same thing goes with the aviaries. These should be spacious especially if you plan to have four or five finches in it. Never have a loner finch because it would not survive. Make sure that there is at least one cage mate.
Healthy Diet
When it comes to their food, make certain that you feed them seeds suited for small birds. Putting some greens like chickweed or dandelion would be fine. Finches also need calcium so providing them with cuttlefish bone, eggshells, or seashells would suffice. Remember to heat the eggshells to kill any bacteria that may be thriving there. Fruits and vegetables can also be added to their diet.
Finches usually live around four to seven years. However, if you give them your utmost care, they would surely live longer. But if you do not give them the care that they need, they may live a shorter life. Their home, health, and food are the three most essential things in their lives. Deprive them of one, and they do not live too long.
Signs of Illness
When you see your finches at the bottom of the cage longer than usual, you may want to bring them to the nearest veterinarian because they might be sick. Other signs of illness are fluffed out feathers, dull or even swollen eyes, tail bobbing and then some growths on the feet or beak. If you do not do something about it, the finches may not become well and die.
It is very important that you give the finches what they need. There is no use in just admiring them if you do not intend to take care of them. Do not buy if you do not foresee to care for them because you will just be wasting your time, money, and effort. Give importance to the life of your finches. Birds are like humans and they to have the right to live. As their owner, do not deprive them of that. Even though they are unable to talk back, surely, they thank you for providing them their needs and taking good care of them.
Do remember these things if you wish to have finches as pets. They would give you that laughter and company that you always wanted in a pet.
