Female zebra finches reach sexual maturity at just 12 weeks. However, to keep your birds healthy after breeding, it is advised by vets and bird experts that your zebra finch should be at least 6 months old before attempting to allow them to mate.

Do you have to hand feed baby zebra finch?

No, finches, especially Society finches and Zebra finches, make very good parents. For Zebra Finches, if one of the parents die, the other will feed and take care of it. If you want to hand tame a ZEBRA FINCH to be a good companian, you should hand feed it at an early age.Wait until they are 4 weeks old!!!!! You don't have to feed them in order for them to survive-the parents will take good care of them. One way to tell if they are being fed often is to look at their 'crop'. this is where their neck is. If it is bulgy and fat and full of seeds, you know that it is being fed properly.


What are Common causes of zebra finch deaths?

I searched this question after losing 2 female zebra finches in a row. I found the answer. If you don't remove the outer covering of the cuttlebone, they eat the hard shell which causes internal organ damage and death. Scoop or cut out the inner, soft material of the cuttlebone in one piece and wire it to the side of the cage. Discard the rest. I wish I had learned htis sooner. Now, I'm watching the male for signs of stress, before I embark on buying yet another replacement finch. Other causes of finch death include getting too cold, dirty water or lack of water, lack of grit, mites and lack of seed for over 24 hours.
