Have A Cage For Your Finch That Is Its Castle

By Marjorie J McDonald


Finches make amusing pets because they have so much activity. They can be fun to look at because of how lively and generally appear very contented. So they have frequently been on my short items list of kinds of pets I'd like to have and always want to .

Because of their amount of activity, the scale of their cage becomes one of the most vital parts of having this interesting pet. You know how you're feeling when your house starts to feel cramped and cluttered. Your finch buddy feels the same way so plan for at least two and a half feet long. Longer if at all possible since the finch gets their regular exercise by flying.

Who knew finches need exercise just like I need exercise. I have to walk or jog nevertheless , to get in my laps as we used to call them in track and field classes. We had to do so many laps before our exercise session was finished.

For your finch they want short flights so have the cage and the arrangement of the things in the cage, feeders, swings, water, or perches prepared so they have those open, tidy places where they can fly.

Imagine if your track was crammed with hurdles, it might be nerve wracking for you to run so do not stress your finch by putting things in its way. It will reward you by continuing to be active and healthy.

Where I live yearly they had the yearly road-race and annually it increases in amounts of runners. One of my friends ran but prepared in advance by drinking water well the day before and the morning of the race. She did not experience any pain while running but said many round her were complaining. While they were getting water handed to them along the race course, it would be less painful on them to have hydrated before the race started.

You finch should be well hydrated too so make sure that you put different dishes of food and water and monitor them closely so your flying pal doesn't run completely out of either but particularly the water.

Finches like to have a place to perch. Provide various sizes so your finches feet can also be exercised. If you did not have any physical issues just exercised your arms, your legs would be really cranky with you. While your finch does not get cranky you still should provide the items it mustto stay healthy. Many finch owners do not take excellent care of their finches so I would like to inspire you to think through all of the things that may

allow your finch to be and remain additional well tended and healthy.

Some perches which do unique duty are cement perches which keep your finches toenails trimmed, but if this is the one perch type you provide it can be hard of the finches feet over a long period of time.

Natural perches from branches of trees or bushes are a good change for your finches feet and definitely easy to find in your yard. Utilise a bird protector disk to keep mites from traveling in on the branches or being brought in to your finches cage.

Your finch loves toys in the cage to play with so pick out a few toys at a time and exchange them out on occasion to give your finch variety. Some ideas should be swings, ladders, beads and mirrors.

Another extra important thing about your fiches cage is to keep it clean. A weekly schedule will help you stay on track with this job. An additional cage to move your finches to while you are cleaning is a wonderful idea and will help you and your finches.

Tools and supplies for cleaning the finches cage are:

hot, soapy water

rinsing water

paper hand towels, newspaper or brown paper bags for the bottom of the cage for easier cleanup

Use to scrub the cage and all items or accessories you have in the cage. Let everything dry thouroughly.

When everything is dry you can begin to bring your finches back to their clean home or castle and your fun with them can continue as their comfort in a clean home continues too. Everybody likes to be refreshed.

Speaking of being refreshed, put a small shallow dish of water for them to bathe in 1 or 2 times a week. I know when I finish my exercises I want a shower so your finches wish to wash be clean too.

And there you have it, your finch now can have a castle in your castle. I guessI guess I could end by adding, sole for humour sake and you can or could then both live contentedly forever.
