Raising Zebra finches can be very rewarding.
Many people do not intend to go into breeding and raising finches but it just kind of happens because no one can have just one finch! This is how most people end up raising finches.
A person will walk into a pet store or bird show.
The Zebra finch will catch their eye with their flying around and singing and chirping.
They will buy everything needed and then get home to enjoy their new addition.
They settle in with the new companion and it goes very well.
After they have this one little companion they decide to get this one a mate.
This is because the one has proven to be such a wonderful pet that two could only make things better.
After getting the mate they decide it would be fine to have them start a family.
The fun of picking out the nest and getting the extra food and treats ready has begun.
Along come the eggs and watching and learning has taken up every free minute of the owner's time.
Is it because it is a lot of work for the new owner? Actually it is very easy as the bird parents do most everything.
It is just the watching them from building the nest to taking care of the little ones that is so fascinating.
If you love birds this is a huge treat and miracle to be able to witness.
After the little ones hatch out it is then time to be monitoring the food that you provide so that there is enough for the parents as well as the fast growing little ones.
The extra protein is given in the form of hard-boiled eggs.
Extra greens and fresh vegetables are given so that all of the birds are strong and healthy.
Raising Zebra finches has turned out to be a super rewarding experience.
And now you are thinking of doing this on a larger scale.
This is a possibility but you have to be careful not to overdo things and have too many birds.
If you are thinking of raising Zebra finches for profit think twice.
You will need to have more than just a few birds to make a profit.
Raising finches is not a lot of work until you have to be feeding and cleaning up after a few dozen.
This can take more work than you intended and then you may not enjoy it so much.
As already stated raising Zebra finches can be a very rewarding experience but having too many is not going to be fun if you are overworked and not enjoying it.
A responsible breeder is a breeder who enjoys what they are doing and not doing it just to make a profit.
Your customers will sense this also.
Raising finches is to be enjoyed and not something to stress over and not a full time job unless that is something you really want to do.
Keeping finches is something that should be relaxing and a learning experience for the whole family.
