Looking for your first pet bird? Want an easy keeper that won’t require a lot of extra work or attention? Check out the Finch. This bird is small, energetic, quiet, and pretty independent. They do best in pairs and can live in cages or aviaries. Their cage needs to be big enough for the bird to stretch its wings and fly from perch to perch. Upkeep includes occasional cage cleaning, refilling food and water. Food can be found in the x-small bird section at your local pet store. Finches come in five types including the American Goldfinch, European Goldfinch, Gouldian, House, Purple and Zebra. They come in a variety of colors as well. The Finch doesn’t care for human interaction. Some can sing but they are relatively quiet. They can live between 5 and 17 years. Talk with your Villa Rica Area, GA veterinary clinic to learn more.
