Just a thank you your way, am still new to finches (not birds in general) and enjoy learning more. Have a few Zebras thinking of breeding, getting some Shaft tails and nursing back some Gouldians to health, we just got recently. Never thought I would enjoy Canaries and Finches, but my grandpa 's aviary (40 plus years back, lol) seems to have left an impact after all. Plus more time on my hand and enjoy watching them❤ Also LOVE Mikey! Our Cockatiel is a sweety as well🐦
These birds eat almost everything. Give them plenty of greens, apples and pears, soft foods, the appropriate seed mix - of course take into consideration the breeding season, moult, rest, etc. They're sheer pleasure to - let's say, they belong in every bird lovers' aviaries. Cheers :)
I used to have Societies, but they breed so fast and even chicks as young as 4 months would breed. Anywhere and in anything. Had crested one's too. Soon there were too many to even sell. No wonder they sell for 5 bucks each and most finches and canaries are around $100 and above. They have a great history though, they don't exist in nature. The Chinese people bred them from closely related finch species, and they're also known as Bengalese finches. They've been used as foster parents for centuries. Cool birds, but they can overwhelm if you let them. I agree that they should only foster under the right conditions at this point. But some people say, we wouldn't have captive Gouldians and other species in captivity if it weren't for them. My granddad taught me that. He knew so much about birds.
Very cool, Yes they do breed like rabbits. Because they are so popular I do try to breed the rarer types of societies. People do seem to be interested in the rare colors still.
@@birdnerd Thanks, everything is going well the babies looks so cute with a mix of white and brown, and I am so happy to see how they are growing and how healthy they look.
Love your blogs have subscribed to your channel, had an aviary when I was a kid, now looking at getting back in the hobby and building an aviary in my garden just need to persuade the wife 😆
They are temperature control birds from what I'm learning the room must be temperature controlled to consistently breed .Might be wrong I'm no expert but have done studying on them for breeding
I have 3 society finches. I don’t know if there is a male in the group. There is a nest in the cage. I put dried grass in the bottom of the cage and they have lined the nest with it. All 3 get in the nest together. I haven’t noticed any “singing.
Hi i do have a question i got female n male society finches n i got 2 more smalls one n added them to the cage i saw the male picking at them why ? did the male do that so i took out the 2 new finches put apart they did have a nest i saw the male making the nest i put cotton n dry grass the next day the male n female are in the nest is that they were jealous or what please let me know ?
Hey love your videos great knowledge. Are you going to do a video on how to breed your cut-throats I have a pair and I’m having problems breeding them the chicks die within days on being hatched
Yes I will do a couple videos on them when I set them up. From past experience I know that they will abandon the nest very easily if someone looks in the nest, I also know that they usually require live food with young or they will not feed the chicks.
I have a new fledge finch that is weaned. I think it’s a she. But I have notice her feet spread apart when on the perch sometimes they are together. Should I be concerned about this?
I have two baby Society Finches, they just left the nest today but I noticed one of the chicks either can’t see or has limited eyesight, have you ever had this happen to you? If so what do I do? Will this chick survive? I’m out of the house 5 days a week for at least 9 hours so wondering what to do.
I've had a pair of society finchs for 4 months now and they have a big cage a nice nest they built and they been mating for a 2 months.. but no eggs... why is it the male?
Hello Birdnerd would you be interested interested in selling any of your white or albino society finches ? I have been trying to find someone find some for quite a while. If you could let me know I sure would appreciate it. Thank you
They will usually have 2 or more perches depending on the size of the cage. The breeding cages that I have right now is 2 feet wide 2 feet tall and 4 feet long
I can't find society finches anywhere where I live. Nobody around here close to me breeds them and let stores don't have them . They are a dime a dozen but not here. I'll eventually find someone who has some . Only thing I have found are zebra finches and they can be aggressive they aren't a good fit for my canaries. Society finches would do well in my flight cage with my canaries though.
birdnerd thanks for the reply :) my other question is, if I have 4 finches in a cage together (2 boys and 2 girls) would they be able to breed? If so, how would the other 2 finches act towards the breeding finches and vice versa
@@birdnerd thank you so much for replying back. I've read that grit could be dangerous but the breeder I purchased them from insisted they needed it. If it's not a necessity, I don't want to give it. Thank you.
@@birdnerd I already have zebra finches in my cage and my cage is three metres square cage . I want to buy some african love birds( agapornis) did african love birds attack my finches or the dont make trouble ,?
Can I separate a sibling society pair that have laid eggs? I keep removing their eggs, but I want to pair the male society with Female Spice finch, and the Female sibling Society with a Male Zebra. Have you seen this done before?

great small info bro did your grandad knew about sporophila angolensis?
Totalmente de acuerdo
I love how quiet the bengalese are and I love the brown n white ones. Can you show us how you catch them please?
Hi Chris I would you like to have some more society finch birds right now I have seven eggs and the nest and five Finch birds
I really enjoyed watching this video, two days ago my pair of Society Finches became officially parents!
Congrats. Hope all goes well with them!
@@birdnerd Thanks, everything is going well the babies looks so cute with a mix of white and brown, and I am so happy to see how they are growing and how healthy they look.
Love to hear that.

Finally arrived! Thank you to start breeding them.
Best of luck!
Nice set up

Very appealing video,.A worth seeing.Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day. A new friend

Thank you, 👍🐤
How much do you sell the dark society Finches for? I recently got a pair made up of a dark and a pearl colored one.
I have 3 society finches. I don’t know if there is a male in the group. There is a nest in the cage. I put dried grass in the bottom of the cage and they have lined the nest with it. All 3 get in the nest together. I haven’t noticed any “singing.
Hi i do have a question i got female n male society finches n i got 2 more smalls one n added them to the cage i saw the male picking at them why ?
did the male do that so i took out the 2 new finches put apart they did have a nest i saw the male making the nest i put cotton n dry grass the next day the male n female are in the nest is that they were jealous or what please let me know ?
Can they successfully breed in an aviary setting?
Where do you find those nest
You have beutyful birds bro.
Thank you

birdnerd what live food do you provide yours with?
@@LuisFernandez-ql9wq No live food. I don't feed live foods to my birds. I do experiment with freeze dried blood worms with good success.
@@birdnerd May I know how you feel blood Worms to your birds?
Hi Chris my name is Joanne do you let your society Finch out of the cage to fly around is it good to let them out around the house to fly

I have a new fledge finch that is weaned. I think it’s a she. But I have notice her feet spread apart when on the perch sometimes they are together. Should I be concerned about this?
It could potentially be what’s called splayed leg syndrome. Providing different branches with different dimensions can help with that.
Gud vedo
Und zum Baden auch für Züchten ❣️ ja die Baden viel. 😊

Will this chick survive? I’m out of the house 5 days a week for at least 9 hours so wondering what to do.
How's the chick today?
hi what baby formula you use to hand raise these finch's?
I don’t hand raise them. But your local pet store should have some supplement foods for raising chicks.
Females have a chirp. you might use pink and blue bands for gender
I've had a pair of society finchs for 4 months now and they have a big cage a nice nest they built and they been mating for a 2 months.. but no eggs... why is it the male?
There’s a good chance you have 2 males. Sometimes males will go through all of the mating rituals. Have you seen them both sing by chance?
@@birdnerd no only one sings, and she just stays in the nest all day for no reason
Hello Birdnerd would you be interested interested in selling any of your white or albino society finches ? I have been trying to find someone find some for quite a while. If you could let me know I sure would appreciate it. Thank you
You give them one stick why and what's cages size for breeder pairs
They will usually have 2 or more perches depending on the size of the cage. The breeding cages that I have right now is 2 feet wide 2 feet tall and 4 feet long
@@birdnerd too small
Do you sell the society finch?
I can’t find any at pet stores :(
Check your local craigslist
Pets mart had some
I can't find society finches anywhere where I live. Nobody around here close to me breeds them and let stores don't have them . They are a dime a dozen but not here. I'll eventually find someone who has some . Only thing I have found are zebra finches and they can be aggressive they aren't a good fit for my canaries. Society finches would do well in my flight cage with my canaries though.
Do you ever tame any of your finches?
Good question. No I don't I just don't have the time to do that. But you can train them to fly on you and eat out of your hands.

Awesome thanks
How to created red eye finch
Not 100% sure. May take some googling efforts.
Can society finch and zebra finch live in the same cage?
Yes. If you are trying to breed the zebra finches they can become territorial while breeding and could become a little pushy to the society finch.
birdnerd thanks for the reply :) my other question is, if I have 4 finches in a cage together (2 boys and 2 girls) would they be able to breed? If so, how would the other 2 finches act towards the breeding finches and vice versa
#BENGALHOBİCİSİEROL Maşallah woow wonderful
Thank you
Do you have to offer finches grit?
It varies between breeders some dogs and some don’t but no I don’t offer grit for my finches.
@@birdnerd thank you so much for replying back. I've read that grit could be dangerous but the breeder I purchased them from insisted they needed it. If it's not a necessity, I don't want to give it. Thank you.
@@birdnerd well they need it
Lutino and finches share the same cage
Not sure what you are meaning
@@birdnerd I already have zebra finches in my cage and my cage is three metres square cage . I want to buy some african love birds( agapornis) did african love birds attack my finches or the dont make trouble ,?
@@poppypop3566 Love birds would attack and bite at your finches legs and toes. I would not advise putting love birds with finches.
do society finches have crowns
Yes there are crested society finches
hi i jiust got 2 bridies
Turkish please or arabic
Some if ur cages are tooooo small
I am having a hard time to sex my society finches 😪
Can I separate a sibling society pair that have laid eggs? I keep removing their eggs, but I want to pair the male society with Female Spice finch, and the Female sibling Society with a Male Zebra. Have you seen this done before?
Tiny cages. Not nice.
