If they are healthy and given the proper diet, they produce offspring regularly and with ease.
WHITE ZEBRA FINCH PRO
Pro – Breeding: They are easily bred, and do not typically require a license or permit to do so.Pro – Variety: There are many different color mutations of Zebra Finches, ranging from white to brown to red, and many different details in between.If they’re given greens, seed, and vitamins, they will thrive. Pro – Straightforward Care: Once they’re set up in the proper environment with the right diet, their care becomes second nature.They have the personalities of parrots fit into a mouse-sized package. They feel the same as parrots and people do: boredom, depression, joy, excitement, love, happiness, sadness, loss, jealousy… You just have to know what to look for. If you take the time to give it special attention and treats, let it get to know you better as with a parrot, then you will find that this is incredibly true. Simply put, Zebra Finches are just as emotionally deep as parrots are, but many owners never get the chance to see it. People pay a small amount of money for them, set them up on an all-seed diet, and leave them in their cage without any interaction. Unfortunately for them, this mindset of finches “not needing much” is where all of the neglect and abuse to their species stems from. This often results in them being labelled as “very easy to care for.” As pets, Zebra Finches don’t bite hard enough to draw blood, they only make a mess inside of their cage (mostly), they don’t need physical human interaction, and they are very inexpensive. Zebra Finches (also known as Zebras) are a good bird for a beginner, or someone with a very busy schedule. Life with Zebra Finches from a real owner’s perspective: We have donated samples to research, been in the spotlight a few times, and are ever-growing as a family and community. Today TWFA has almost every Zebra mutation available in the U.S.A. They had my entire soul wrapped around their little claws. To say I was in love was an understatement. When I felt I was ready, I drove 16 hours round trip to pick up my first pair of Chestnut-Flanked White Zebra Finches: Oedipus and Ophelia, who are currently enjoying their retirement. Though their beauty alone was enough to fill me with pride, it was their charm and kindness towards people that amazed me. I fell instantly in love with their tiny white cuteness! Nesting Zebra Finch. When I found myself in a giant new city with ample room in the house I lived in, my first idea was to adopt.Īs I searched for a species of bird that suits my hectic work life, I came across Zebra Finches – specifically the Chestnut Flanked White Zebra Finches (CFWs). Those experiences stuck with me, and as a result, I’ve always shared her love of birds. She cared for any abandoned or injured birds that she could find, releasing them into her yard of giant pine trees when they could take care of themselves.

When I was growing up, I had a great grandmother who I spent most of my days with. Who I am and How I got started in the Bird World: Chelsea Le Pinson Blanc.
