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 if aguinea pig bites you when you hand feed them?

If a guinea pig bites you when hand feeding, gently remove your hand and don't punish or yell at the guinea pig. This behavior may indicate they are stressed or scared. Give them space and time to calm down before attempting to hand feed them again. It's also a good idea to consult with a vet or animal behaviorist for further guidance.

How long does it take for a zebra finch egg to hatch?

Yes, they hatch. My zebee hen laid her first eggs a couple of weeks ago. After a few eggs mysteriously disappeared, they finally kept four of them. Two have hatched and I'm still waiting for the other two. They hatch at a rate of one per day. If you don't want your eggs to hatch, remove them as they are laid. They won't get incubated. Be aware that you are stressing the birds if you keep removing eggs, so remove the nest and/or separate the pair if you want to stop her from laying fertile eggs. That addresses fertility of young bird eggs. Now, to address the very first eggs of unbred hens. I had a couple of finches several years ago who laid four eggs with no losses. These were their first eggs, and they were both a year old. Only one egg turned out to be infertile. One of the chicks was a runt (last to hatch can't compete with clutchmates) whom I named "Charlie" and hand-fed. Charlie died (refused to eat), but I still remember him by naming my computer "Charlie" every time I set it up after a disk drive format.

Can you make a zebra finch tame?

Although these birds are not particularly interesting (DO NOT RELEASE THEM), they will starve as they have nothing to eat and do not have even the basic skills to live in the wild. If you wish to get rid of them you can give them to your local pet shop. They should be happy to accept.
