Your finch will lay eggs in a nest that has been lined with something, feathers, fuzz, nesting materials. The adults will take turns sitting on the eggs. When they leave the nest they may pull a little of the nesting material over the eggs or they may leave them exposed on the top, it is really up to them. And as long as they do not leave the nest for more than a few minutes at a time the eggs will be fine.
Chickens lay unfertilized eggs because they do not need a rooster to produce eggs. Hens have reproductive systems that allow them to lay eggs regularly, whether or not they have mated with a rooster.
A mosquito can lay eggs in a body of water as small as a bottle cap.
Female mosquitoes require blood in order to lay their eggs because they need the proteins and nutrients found in blood to develop and nourish their eggs before laying them.
Hello there! Well, to answer your question, butterflies lay their eggs during late spring and early fall. To add more, butterflies have this sticky substance they use to cover their eggs so it won't fly away. Speaking of leaves, butterflies are really smart because they know exactly what type of leaf they need to lay their eggs on. Hope this helps! Oh, and please DO NOT delete this answer. My cousin says she needs this for her project, and since she doesn't have a phone, I can't tell her in person. She's going to find this and use it for her project. So, thank you for your cooperation ;D
Butterflies lay their eggs on plants. Some are very particular which plant they lay their eggs on. Monarchs only lay their eggs on milkweed plants. They are more likely to lay the eggs on a leaf since there are other insects that may be visiting the flowers.
they need to learn to live by themselves
They don't need anything! They lay their own eggs!
the eggs need to be kept warm in order to mature, check out the link I provided
For many types of finches it will take 2-3 weeks for eggs to hatch once the parents start incubating them. If the elapsed time has been longer than this, and they still have not hatched they are probably infertile. In this case, you can just remove the eggs from the nest and toss them. There is no need to keep the eggs as the female will lay more.
Food. Water. Shelter.
If the mother is sitting on them, has food and water and is warm enough, that's all you need to worry about.
sure they still need there parents to care for them
Yes, more so than in warm weather.
Finches like to have company, so I suggest having a male and a female together in the same cage. They are very cute together, they always snuggle with each other :) Put a nest in their cage and they will sleep there together at night. However, they will usually keep breeding continually. If you don't want to have cute fluffy baby finches, you can take our the eggs every time you see them and throw them away. But if you do want cute fluffy baby finches, they are very fun to watch grow up and there is nothing you need to do for them, just take them out when the parents start picking on them. You can put them in another cage, free them outside, or you can sell them at a near bye pet store. I have zebra finches, so this may varie depending on your breed of finch.
yes but you do need eggs
Well first you need to cover your face so you dont breath it in.Then i take cover ! Hide under a car or anything to stay safe
The following information was found on ZebraFinch.info. It helped me with my pair of little Zebra Finches. 1. You will first need a couple of finches old enough to breed - that's after 3 months old, but you must wait until they are nine months old first. 2. They can't breed if you don't give them greens. They will eat chickweed and dandelion leaves. 3. They will also need a nesting site and nesting material to build the nest with. Pick a suitable nest box and purchase it from the internet or a pet store. The nesting sites come in all shapes and sizes. There's the Swallow nest (called that because swallows make nests looking like this) which is like a bowl, and a Nest Box, which is often placed in gardens for wild birds. They provide warmth and shelter to the eggs, but the finches need to squeeze through to get inside the box. These are actually more often used for budgies. Then you have a Wicker Nest, a nest made from hay-like materials that has a roof crafted over the top. If you want you can replace a dirty Wicker Nest as long as there is no eggs in it so you can remove any droppings from it. They provide shelter and warmth and well as comfort and easy access, but they can get dirty and don't give much room for chicks, but most clutches should never have too many birds so that they won't fit it the Wicker Nest. Once you have a nesting site for use you need material so the male of the pair can craft a nest. Give him wool and material sold for this purpose in pet stores. Also give him the softer pieces of material you can buy from pet shops that will keep the birds inside the nesting site, including mother, chicks and eggs, nice and warm - wool you use for wild birds is good for this. Let him use whatever he thinks is best from the variety you offer, often he will use alot of everything. Give rolled or cut up newspaper, clean hay (must be CLEAN), and the odd few handfulls of wool. Then stuff them in something the birds can pull the material out of and watch them begin. 4. Now, the eggs arrive. When the nest is done, the birds are in good condition and the greens are not rare in your bird's diet, the female will enter the nest. She will lay eggs in the nest. Then watch your birds keep the eggs warm by sitting on them. They will hatch if they are kept warm. 5. The next event in the timeline is that the eggs begin to crack open and from within them you will hear "Chireep! Churreep! Fweecheep, meecheep, eep, cheepeep..." and notice the baby finches. 6. The little finches will soon grow their feathers. Their first feathers will not tell you their gender as it takes time for them to get their markings, as the males and females feather patterns and markings are different. When they hatch they are creamy white-ish with a little black mark underneath each eye - unless they have the mutation Pure White from a parent. This is a cute and normal happening in finch breeding and so are other mutations, but this one will overrun all other mutations. To see mutations and what they look like see the Finch Design page on Zebrafinch.info that allows you to click on a mutation and the finches on the left will change to suit the appearance you have clicked. 7. Eventually the young finches will leave their nest. They can now explore around their home and get to know the other finches in their environment. 8. Eventually the little finches will also begin feeding themselves and other finches. They can now drink their water and eat anything nutritious for them as they become older and explore the area and investigate other finches. They are now young zebra finches just beneath adult age capible of getting what they need on their own and interacting with the other finches in the manor they do. 9. Take the nest away now unless you want another clutch of little finches. Don't breed the same pair more than 2-3 times a year, as it is bad for their health to breed to much. I'd wait until next year before breeding them again. If you really want more finches, try a different pair. Remove the breeding stuff until the next time your finches will breed.
