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.


Do zebra finches eat worms?

hi, they can eat almost any fruits and veggies, just never avacodos, those are poision to all birds as far as i know, they like apples (dont give them the seeds of any fruit, like apples, poision!) carrots, bananas, pineapples, and stuff like, romane lettace, spinach, and dark leafy greens, not iceburg lettace though, fresh fruits and veggies should make up 15% of the finch diet :) , remember to wash all produce before feeding, hope that helps :D

Can you teach your zebra finch to talk?

Zebra Finches can't talk, but one of my Pied Zebra Finches make a call that imitates the sound of an alarm. My Zebra Finches do answer me, though. When I walk in the door and say "Hi" to them, they chirp back. Zebra Finches can make beautiful calls, so without tricks, these cute little birds put on a show...with their singing!
