Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Gouldian and Owl Finches are active flyers that do best in a cage with room to fly.
- Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced.
- Minimum Cage Size: 20 x 24 inches for a pair; provide more space for larger groups or colonies.
- Social Needs: Keep in pairs or small groups, since finches are flock birds and should not be kept alone; best enjoyed as a bird to watch rather than handle.
- Enrichment: Rotate enrichment toys and materials made for finches, and offer a fresh bowl of water large enough for bathing every day.
- Maintenance: Spot clean the cage and food and water dishes daily, and deep clean the cage weekly.
