    I thought finches were social birds and owners needed at least two tow keep finches happy.

      Wanda Hewitt They are social birds but having two finches isn't necessary.

      Wanda Hewitt yes but not all finches is happy with a partner. If you would like your finch to have a partner that is fine.. :) Hope I don't start any drama over this... Good Day!

      Sometimes females get bullied by male finches so it's better to get 2 females just to be sure they will get along

    i'm not going to be here and tell you what you can and cannot do, so this is for those who have come to this video in search of help:
    first of all, FINCHES CAN BE TAMED! And it's completely healthy for them, but you need to have patience!
    1.) NEVER put your hand in your birds cage! It stresses them out, and finches are very prone to stress-induced shock, which can ultimately be fatal. it will also destroy any trust you two have.
    2.) first, don't associate much with your bird the first week you have him. he is traumatized from the transfer, so let him get used to his new surroundings. talk to him and let him get used to your presence. approach the cage and he will eventually understand that you aren't a threat.
    3.) you can attach treats to the bars that will attract him away from his usual perch or the back of the cage. he should also have free flight to keep him healthy. (make sure the room is bird proof!) by now, he should know that his cage is a safe place and will return to it on his own. place treats outside of the cage door where he would step out and retrieve them. this will get him used to his outdoor surroundings, including you.
    4.) after sometime through this slow process, he will learn to trust you and begin taking food from your hand because he knows you are rewarding him.
    again, NEVER stick your hand in your bird's cage, unless of course, for some reason, there is an emergency. it can also make him feel as if his cage is not a safe place and he will not want to go back into it if he ever gets out.
    fyi: no, you do not need two finches. yes, it is preferred, especially if you're busy. but no, it is not that necessary if you are giving him enough attention.
    hopefully this helps!

      Hey there! Thank you for this information! I wish there was more of this info at the time when I was trying to research how to tame him :// I am quite positive I was not the reason he died, but others keep accusing me of that. I am not saying that my method of taming was the best, just my young self trying things out I found worked for others online. If I were to get another finch, I do realize I should not invade his personal space (his cage) as I did so in the video. But as everyone in the comments says, I will give him a heart attack, I do not believe I ever got him close. Anyways, thank you so much for adding this comment and I will be sure to apply it to any birds I may get in the future :)

    good job, the way I trained my zebra finch, Vixen, is I just grabbed her and put her on my thumb in the dark, because they cant see good in low light, and when it obeyed more, I tried in the light. By the time the day ended, she was very obedient. If you can make more videos on how to train them to do tricks that would be cool! You earned a sub

    Great job, but Finches are pets you are not suppose to hold. They can have quick heart attacks from just 1 hand movement. I prefer NOT trying to tame a finch or any bird that is not a bird to handle a lot. I am not trying to put any hate on anyone, just giving some friendly advise if that is okay. :)

    • @liamw2334
      @liamw2334 2 года назад

      Started off by letting them settle in for the first night
      Let them listen to some music on the low volume for a an hour or two for them to get used to noise by this time they started chattering away
      The next day I started sitting by their cage talking to them with a calm soft tone of voice
      The day after I stroked my hand on the cadge door whilst still talking to them
      And then I put food on my hand removes their food bowls and just patiently waited for them to come to me I kept hand in the cadge for half and hour and they started approaching my hand and then one of them was brave and jumped into my hand started eating the seeds
      And then the other one followed suit
      On the 4th day I put my hand on the cadge and my arm still talking to them as I did and they jumped straight onto my arm sat there for half an hour moving up and down my arm
      Day 5 I let them out of the cadge and they were getting used to the living room and found their way back to the cadge
      Day 6 I let them out to road again and they let me feed them and they were comfortable around me flying around being hyper and would come next to me every now and then
      day 7 they started jumping on my hand with out any food and they kept coming upto my eat nibbling it 🤣 they were crazy birds

      Mochira the minimum for a pair of zebbies is around 24 inches long and 18 inches wide, but that's mostly because they fly for exercise rather than climb like many hook bills do. Look up the reccomend cage size for your bird, it might just be right, and if not then you'll know. ☺️

      Abigail Goudeau No. This should not happen with these types of birds... Something can happen to them in a heart beat... I DO NOT recommend this at all! You can do it if you must tho... But you might end up with a dead bird in your cage... or anywhere in your house. Their playtime ( at least for my finches ) might be a bird bath. They like it a lot. I just recommend this. I hope I don't start any drama over this... :) Good Day!!

    Only way to have a totally tame zebra finch is to hand rear it. It can be easier when you have a single finch as they are such friendly birds it drives them insane when kept on their own, so even a human will do as company in that case.
    Wherever possible please keep at least a pair of zebra finches, they are lonely without a friend or mate.

We give him lots of attention and he has not shown signs of depression or loneliness yet. As soon as he does, we plan to get another one. They also do not have any healthy ones currently from the breeder we got him from. I understand your concern though :)

    ummmm there are so many things wrong with this:( first off , that’s not called a tamed bird he acts like it bc ur forcing him, and u never want to put ur hand in the cage!! especially finches bc they can go into shock bc they think u want to eat them, third that’s a small cage bc he needs a wide cage and not a tall cage:(

    you should not fill the cage with toys it is difficult for the bird to fly

    NEVER put your hand in the cage!!!! That's their safe space!!!!! You're forcing the bird to TOLORATE you. That doesn't mean it actually LIKES you!

      Ernie's brother sadly died about a year ago and I understand where you are coming from but pretty soon after this video was made we bought him plenty of toys and a mirror that he thinks is still his brother lol. We give him lots of attention and he has not shown signs of depression or loneliness yet. As soon as he does, we plan to get another one. They also do not have any healthy ones currently from the breeder we got him from. I understand your concern though :)

      Cactus 'N Gaming yes but NOT ALL finches can be kept in pairs. Very social birds yes, but maybe the owner could not take care of several at a time. Or maybe the finch did have a partner but something happened to it? I hope I don't start any drama over this... :) Good Day!

    i use to have 2 finiches one was more gutty then the other one sadly that finich died and now my other finish is way more jumpy she got use to haveing a budgie friend in the same cage with her and thanks to akasha (the budgie she protects dahvie (finish) from locky (cockatial) but the three are getting along sadly the 3 birds arent tamed but we are slowly getting locky hand tamed again aksha needs her wings cliped so we can hand tame her but dahvie will be harder cos shes such a tiny bird and a huge house along with a huge cage for 3 birds dont mix with a small bird that can get stuck in tiny places and get lost believe me i turned my own bedroom into a mess trying to find dahvie when i let her out once only to find her in my heel boot where i couldnt see her since shes a dark finch lol
