Question by Dutch Ried: information on finches….?
I recently bought an Australian Shaft Tailed Finch. Before I bought it the sales lady told me to be careful not to let him out of his cage for fear that he might fly head first into a wall,window,or mirror.Not only that,they poop a LOT and are hard to catch.
I put him in a decent size cage.He has food,water,a bath,a nest, a swing,and two horizontal poles to sit on. I want to be able to have him fly around a bit and feed him out of my hand. He’s a very pretty bird and sings a nice tune. But I can’t even get a hand on him to take him out of the cage – he’s fast.
I want to get him a companion,but not another finch.
I’d appreciate any recommendations in reference to what I mentioned. Preferably by those who have owned this type of bird. I don’t care if you had a parrot,parakeet or any other kind of bird. Before I got the bird,I asked question on finches and got a whole bunch of responses about everything EXCEPT how to take care of a finch. And please save your “you should have gotten information before you bought the bird’ b.s. because it wont help or make a difference.
Info on FINCHES or birds compatible with them is all I need. Thanks a lot.

Well we had heaps of American and Australian Finches and they were all very wild. You can’t really feed them out of your hand or let them fly in the house. Here in Australia (Alice Springs mainly) they fly in groups and are like a common pigeon.
This isn’t like a parrot which you can really handle, they like to live in their cage without your interference from the experience I’ve had from owning them for 10 years.
