Zebra finch care

23 9:57:50

Question
Hello, I have always wanted zebra finches not only because its going to be my first bird, but ive hears that they are small and easy to care for. And I was wondering if you could give me some care info about them in detail. Like I already know that they need a cage and their food and cuttlefish bone. but anything else they need besides that? Im kinda on a tight budget

Answer
Then finches are not for you. Finches are expensive, messy, and a lot of work. They need vitamin supplements, high quality food (lower quality tends to have grain beetles), and a cage (proper cages are far from cheap). I do not recommend birds for you simply because you have tight budget
