I live in Canada and I own 8 Zebra finches. I just discovered today long looking worms in their water dish. I have had these birds for a couple of years and some less but never seen this. How does one treat this? I cannot figure out which one its from its not possible. We do not have a local vet who sees birds. Any info ASAP would be greatly appreciated.

We have a 3 year old male zebra finch whose mate died. We bought a 2 month old female to breed with him (later). Can we put her in with her safely now?

I had Zebra finches as my first aviary bird. I found them very easy to look after but did have a tendency to try to breed rather to much. I still breed these happy little birds and find them very funny and amusing. I currently have 1 pair for sale for anyone who is interested. I also breed Canaries (Fife and Gloster), Budgies, Cockatiels and Diamond Doves.

I have a large flock of Zebra finches and would like to reduce their numbers by selling some, have you any outlets on your books? Please note these finches are not tame they have been bred in semi wild conditions, and live in mainly breeding pairs within the flock Many thanks Mrs S Blackburn

I had 10 Zebra finches but found the mating, egg laying to be endless. I felt it was too much for the females and found homes for all but 3-females; Emmie, Ivee & Olive. Each adorable with delightful tweets. I let them have free cage time as the set up is safe and they stay close to their cages. Olive, a larger finch, bullies Emmie. They're in separate cages to protect (tiny) Emmie. The cages are by large windows and the finches "have friends" outside; and they react to predator visits by standing perfectly still not moving a muscle, until the outside birds return. Instinctively the Finches are brilliant. Finding the exact right bird seed mix has been ongoing. I get them Dr. Harvey's Fabulous Finch Food, keep it in the refrigerator for freshness. It's expensive but lasts when other food is blended. Calcium need is high in Zebra finches. I crush eggshells using a mortar/pestle to a very fine grind. Online order fresh bulk Cuttlebone (7"+). Scraping cuttlebone with a flat edge can opener put in little jar lids on the floor will give them an easy supply in emergency. My finches are no longer mating, but DO lay eggs at times. CRITICAL is to provide calcium at egg laying times: cuttlebone, fine ground up egg shells (rinse and dry first). Zebra finches deplete a lot during each egg laid. One bird could not fly but landed on the cage floor with disequilibrium. I didn't know what was going on. Somehow I went with more calcium since she is tiny and had laid an egg that morning. As soon as she ate (yuk) the scraped cuttlebone powder she was up and flying around all well again. That incident made me realize so much more about the calcium needs of these birds.
