- A man who had 18 wild goldfinches caged in his home was fined after admitting breaking the Wildlife act.
Cetin Metin, 20, claimed he had bought some of the birds from a man in the pub and was given the rest as presents from his family.
When RSPCA inspectors and a police officer visited his home on July 6, they found the birds kept in nine cages in his home and garden.
Guys, the problem isn't that the man kept goldfinches, the problems are that 1) he kept WILD goldfinches, and 2) HOW he kept them. You can't just take a bird out of the wild and expect it to be happy in captivity -- this is cruel and an unworthy existence. That said, goldfinches can be excellent companion birds if they are raised in captivity, from captive-born parents (there's plenty of breeders who've domesticated finches over generations, so no need to catch from the wild). Just as importantly, goldfinches are very active and intelligent and have a great need for movement, so they need big cages PLUS several hours of free flight every single day. It looks as if none of this was heeded here, so the fine was justified.
I bought two wild goldfinch chiks a male & a female, they were captured young 😢 at the age of 40 days , from different places, the male is called Pancho & his little female is called Polina i am working on taming bouth of them very kindly everyday, Pancho is very smart bird he recognize my face and he stay calme whene i come to him waiting for his gift, he already eat from my hand and and steal seeds from my mouthe 😅, polina is a cute bird she love always singing and dancing the whole day she has now six months by far but she is a cautious one, even she alrady eat from my hand but she doesn't want to go out from its cage and surrender itself to me as panchon did in before in a shorter time, but i wil still trying with her because i feel she started to realy love me but she is just shy, not like pancho who loves me only whene i give him his favorit foods, i will put them together ❤ when they will be ready for mating, & i will keep the chiks for me & resales pancho & polina in the nature where no one can catch them again, i hope so
American goldfinches?
They all looked distressed in their cages, like you'd think wild birds would be.
He deserves it. Birds were born free. This poacher needs to be in jail.
no need to catch from the wild which these birds must of been theres plenty of captive bred birds around available to buy
In 1803 William Blake published his famous poem: "Auguries of Innocence".
A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeons
Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions.
A Dog starv’d at his Master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus’d upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted Hare
A fiber from the Brain does tear.
I think this will go over the heads of the people its aimed at,but I'm with you....
You have to wonder sometimes why so many people post nest cams but never show the chicks fledging. Some of these cams set up by people are not for the most wholesome of reasons. Some are set up to monitor bird nests to determine the optimal time to collect the chicks for minimal works on the collectors part for feeding baby birds while at the same time giving enough time left before they can fly or fend for themselves so they can be “domesticated” enough by the human to get them use to being handled. Then they can also be passed off as “captive bred or hand fed chicks”. Not everyone’s intentions with wild nest cams are for innocent purposes and have a more sinister reason.
Humans again trying to justify their misdemeanors
ALL BIRDS COME FROM THE WILD ANYWAY
Sailes Lee where is that in USA
They were kept in horrible condition
But those cages were tiny and they were use to being free!
Clever answer...NOT
@Sailes Lee..
those are finches that are well taken care of and probably he bought them from pet stores. so there is nothing wrong about it. Cruelty is when they are not taken care of or sick. It's a rip off guys
They are in cages which are far too small. Some don't even seem to have perches in the cages, just the bars. The video clearly shows extensive damage to feathers. Are you blind or stupid? This is clearly poor care.
The goldfinch he was holding with damage had a ring so isn't wild
He admitted breaking the Wildlife Act. They aren't supposed to be pets to begin with so it doesn't matter if any are ringed, protected wildlife is not meant to be captive bred in the first place. Get a goldfish.
Has it occurred to you that you if you want to make money from the illegal wildlife trade the first thing you do when you catch wild birds is ring them to cover your tracks? Criminals aren't totally dumb.
@@user_mac0153 what makes it ok to get a goldfish than a goldfinch they are both animals, both came from wild.
was it a split ring ?
Wild birds are ringed
so so sad to see birds in cage like prison , so poor birds, it is a crime to put the bird in small cage and suffers and can not fly , these birds they want to be free in natural life .. or at least they put them in very big cage like 3 meters or more so they can fly , flying is the natural right for birds ..
I seen a landscaping program, perhaps in the UK? They said there's a fine and jail for disrupting/destroying nesting birds? My first thought was, funny, its okay to have an abortion but not destroy a bird nest?
So many people commenting clearly not understanding the UK context to this: the law, our culture and values in the way we expect animals and birds to be treated. This is criminal activity, the perpetrator admitted it and he was justly fined. I hope that your understanding improves in the future.
Who put mau mau freedom fighter to cages?
i have trapped thousands of goldfinches when i was a kid they settle down very quick and start whistling they become very friendly we use to let them fly inside the house at night time and they would go back into there cage after a while you can let them go and some will come back great aviary bird to bread them with canneries nothing wrong with catching them best catch them winter time you can stop then starving to death dont use mesh on the cage, bars only that will save the feathers around the beak
Had many of good day as a kid with a grandfather out catching all british finches they were good times
What did you use to catch them?
@William Anderson: Disgusting you and your grandfather! Birds are born to be free. They have wings for a reason.
Oh give over, a few goldies in cages and you’re making sound like a massacre. The population of goldfinches is healthy, in fact the best ever, these birds dont look too distressed to me, leave the fellow alone, there’s worse crimes to animals
But its alright to own a budgie or canary
You can own a gold finch as long as it's not wild cought and from a breeder with a ring
Exactly
If it is captive bred, then yes
@@lescooper5224 and from where did the breeder got the first birds to breed dont tell me from another breeder because i will ask from where they got it.
@@EngHamadSaber I don't make the rules poncho
Alright he shouldn’t do that, but what about all the other birds in cages?, I know I wouldn’t like that I were a bird, it should be completely illegal for any bird to be in a cage, it’s never made any sense to me.
If you do that, the released birds will die.
ok so you dont agree with it, many do keep cage birds and look after them with a lot of care and treasure them, they breed and look well when kept correctly, just like dogs, cats, fish.
I am looking for a male Zebra Finch
Leave on peace bird guys you have more important things to do in life and not to fine owner keeping goldfinches
I see the guys taking care of the birds really good just leave him alone ma’am
Tiny cages too
This is not cruelty. These birds are raised as pets. Can become very docile and can be cross bred with canaries for beautiful singing mules.
It will be thanks to breeders that some species will survive, statistics show that birds in the wild are finding it difficult to survive due to habitat destruction, lack of food supply, greenhouse effect, chicks dying in eggs due to higher temperatures. See how many videos there are online of breeders who tamed them as pets and they come happily for a treat.
What utter nonsense, you don't know anything about the history of this illegal wildlife trade. In Victorian times goldfinches were caught in such numbers for the cage bird industry that they almost went extinct in the UK. Today goldfinches as a species are one of relatively few which are doing quite well. They don't need to be 'helped' by being caught and caged. The caged bird industry is however on the rise again, and UK goldfinches are caught and sold for profit by some complete scumbags.
You are right that it will be partly thanks to breeders that some species will benefit from the contribution of *well-trained professional breeders*, and for examples of what good practice looks like see ruclips.net/video/svZyup7XxtQ/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/sOwpvFtYcTM/видео.html. What this guy has done is definitely cruel with very poor care taken of these birds. He's no breeder. He clearly either does not care or does not know what he is doing. The damaged feathers are from birds hitting them on the bars trying to get out, which you can also see them doing in the video. If the bird was happy being where it was would it be doing that? Almost certainly these are wild birds, not used to being caged, which is why they are behaving like that; particularly when humans are so close. Catching wild birds in the UK is totally illegal.
Birds bread into captivity don’t panic and aren’t stressed as much as wild ones wild birds are incredibly stressed that’s why they lose feathers and injure themselves you my friend or a fucking idiot
Not cruelty? Let’s put YOU inside a cage to see how you feel.
This individual is a POACHER and need to be in jail for animal cruelty.
If people will learn to coexist and educate respect wildlife habitat this will never happen.
@@margui6224 Really funny how you interpret "cruelty". There are many versions of cruelty and I assure you, the worst kind of cruelty is that done by persons who advocate the rights of animals yet they disrespect their families, neighbours and are hostile towards every human beings. Maybe some Karens like you may understand this.
@@jammy92955 😂Poor clown!
I own 2 European goldfinches and they create such adorable babies they don’t deserve that kind of ill-treatment and whoever did that deserves to be put in a cage themselves see how it feels
Why does everyone say “they deserve to be in a cage and see how it feels”
Anonymous SML because they do what have the poor things don’t deserve that have they ever done to receive poor treatment I hope they are ok now
Mostafa Bouziane most birds in the wild get killed faster
Anonymous SML I know that’s the natural way but slowly in a suffering is wrong
Mostafa Bouziane since I’m in the US can I catch them I saw a very pretty one and I have a huge cage
Go find some more important to do guys, live de good and calm bird guys in peace. Go to work.
That doesn’t make sense but I think I understand and are you saying that animal cruelty is good?
Learn English if you are gonna chip in I had a stroke trying to decipher that
How do you spot wild goldfinch if you want get one
their feet are black if they are wild , if not then they are cage raised
Don't know about other types of finches, but as far as European goldfinches are concerned that is not true. All European goldfinches have pink/brown legs. None have black legs.
A captive bred one will have a closed ring on its leg. It's not legal to buy or sell and British bird species that doesn't have a closed ring on its leg.
I have more than 50 Himalayan Siberian and European goldfinch In the cage in USA in California.
What’s wrong with your guys!!!!!
I don’t see anything illegal????
I’m agree with you they are so stupid
It's a culture thing...just because you can doesn't make it right...the world is full of paradoxes....
@@gustavoperez7764 if you don’t understand why it is then you’re clearly a fucking moron and you shouldn’t have to the right to say anything till you educate yourself
I mean obvs you don’t understand you’re in America where you’re just cruel to animals and people for shits and giggles, see in civilised countries there’s more humanity towards animals than that
@@LEuington6 If you have a time !!
You can come and kiss my a.........s.......s
It´s cruel, criminalist evil!
i just had the opportunity to take care of three baby goldfinches that were abandoned by the mother here in the US, but i made sure to treat them properly. i fed them with food that was deemed appropriate and made sure it was the same consistency that a chewed up worm would be. i put their nest in a box with newspaper and tissue, and covered the top of the box with a piece of newspaper at night.
That's so wrong
I have grinded dates available and it is the best food for goldfinch and canary birds that I export to all parts of the world
In my point of view It's not cruelly. becouse those birds are not very easy to be tamed that's all and just chick if they have been taking care with foods and stuff they needed then I dont see any reason finding them.i think you can just advice them to get a big cage that's it

Why keeping those beautiful creatures
In cage for what to sing for you
They not meant to be in cage
They here for reason let them all free please
I agree with you but why keep a dog or a cat
@@lescooper5224 if you really don’t know the answer to that question you’re a real fucking moron, like reverse, why a cat or dog but not a full on lion or an elephant in the back garden of a suburban home?
shame on you if you are catching a goldfinch there is a 90% chance of it having a heart attack and if not it will die in the hours later
