About this item
DESCRIPTION

Male Zebra Finches learn their mating call by memorizing their father's song and then adding their own new notes. Shy birds by nature, these beautiful birds are a great choice for beginning pet parents. Learn more about these fascinating birds, their behaviors, and how to care for them in the sections below.

Experience Level: Beginner

Expected Size: Finches grow up to 5 inches (13 cm) from head to end of tail.

Lifespan: Finches live for approximately 5 years.

Origin: Grass finches are native to Australia

Diet: Because a finch's metabolism is very active, starvation can occur in as little as 24 hours. Food must be available at all times!

Behavior: Though shy with humans, same species and same-sized finches can be housed in pairs or in larger flocks in aviaries.


Vet Assured: Pets purchased at PetSmart are part of our exclusive Vet Assured program, designed by PetSmart veterinarians to help improve the health and well-being of our pets. Our vendors meet a high standard in caring for pets and screening them for common illnesses, including Zoonotic diseases. This program also includes specific standards for in-store pet care.


The PetSmart Promise: If your pet becomes ill during the initial 14-day period, or if you're not satisfied for any reason, PetSmart will gladly replace the pet or refund the purchase price.

Safety tips for you and your pet:
1. ALL ANIMALS can potentially carry viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases contagious to humans. 2. Thoroughly wash your hands with
warm, soapy water before and after contact with any pet or its habitat. 3. Adults should assist children with hand washing after contact with a pet or its enclosure. 4. Use caution when handling pets, and remember they may bite or scratch, especially when stressed.
