Society finches can lay 3 to 6 eggs. When laying eggs it usually has one egg a day until its done laying. When the hen is done laying the eggs the male and the female will sit on those eggs. It will 14 to 21 days for those eggs to hatch. If the eggs do not hatch after 21 days, you should throw those eggs away. Then the finches will mate again.
A female lays as many times as she needs to. It's a matter of keeping her healthy. If we're talking about breeding, and there is a male in the cage with her she should lay three clutches a year.
It takes 20 to 22 days after making a nest that a zebra finch will lay eggs.
And if i am answering this wrong then zebra finches lay there eggs any time in the year as long as they are inside. And zebra finches lay anywere from 3 to 12 eggs but most clutches are 5 to 6 eggs. If you have any more qustions email me at...

It depends which finches and where in the world they are. Most finches are seed eaters and so tend to live near to forests, grassland and farmland. They use suitable safe nesting sites, trees, cliffs and buidings.
Some weaver finches in Africa and India build nests hanging from the inexcessible branches of trees. There relatives, sparrows, build nests in barns and houses.
But finches are a versatile lot and use any safe, inaccesible place to nest.
summer time
I believe finches nest in trees and do not use birdhouses, much like cardinals. They are from the same family.
The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.
I am not sure. My finches used to protect their eggs, not crack them. The other birds in the cage must have cracked them. If not, maybe they needed nutrients.
snake is lays eggs in a nest build on trees
Yes they can build there own nest but some live in hollows in trees
Grass,leaves,moss,cobweb and lichen
they need to learn to live by themselves

crow yes build nest
penguins build their nest in summer
I would recommend putting in another food dish and rearranging the perches, toys, and food dishes (if the food dishes have hooks to hang on the side of the cage) once every 1 - 2 weeks. Also be sure you are not providing anything that the finches might use as nest material.
It verys for each bird, but for finches, usually in the wild, they clean it every 7-10 days. Hope that helps.

the male bird should always protect the nest
When bird find mate they will build a nest
Normally, they build their nest on a corn plant
