Many people who choose to breed finches do so because their songs may be music to your ears. A finch’s letter is usually not a high-pitched, shrill call, but a harmonious series of calls that are pleasant to listen to. If you enjoy listening to the sounds of finches singing, the following may help you choose the right breed.
In general, the brighter colored breeds of finches are less vocal than their simpler counterparts. This is not a firm rule, but rather a good guideline to follow when shopping for finches.
The first thing to remember about finch lyrics is that only male birds sing. The females do not sing at all. If you want to be serenaded, you need to make sure you have at least one male finch in his cage or aviary.
The best and most vocal of all the finches would have to be the green singing finch. You can also try to get a gray warbler finch or a European golden finch. All three of these breeds are quite vocal. Keep in mind that finches are quite calm birds. They generally only make sounds when warning others of danger or when making their mating calls. They don’t just sing.
The songs of the singing finches will remind you of the songs of a canary. These finches have higher pitches in their letters than most finches. They have soft and beautiful melodies. Other finches sing in pleasant tones, they just have deeper tones.
These birds are very social and if you don’t have a pair of finches, chances are your bird won’t sing at all. Finches need each other to be happy enough to sing. So even if you get a male, you will need two birds. You can have two males if you want. Birds just need a mate.
Finches that are in poor health or unsatisfactory habitats will not sing for you. You need to make sure that the finch cage you have is large enough for your finches to do some flying as well as jumping and running. Keep the cage or bird warm and dry. You don’t want cold winds blowing on your birds. They will eventually get sick if kept in temperatures that are too cold.
Provide your birds with plenty of clean, fresh drinking water. You’ll also want to provide them with separate water containers that they can use for bathing. Fresh water is required every day in finch habitat.
Proper nutrition will be required to maintain optimum health in your birds. Feed your birds a variety of seeds designed and packaged for finch nutritional requirements. Give your birds bites of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as apples, bananas and grapes are some of their favorite fruits. Provide them with an occasional natural insect or mealworm to eat. Your birds must be in good health for you to enjoy finch lyrics.
