Finch Information and Articles
Links are to your left. Below are also links and article descriptions. These articles have all been written by me and may NOT be posted on any other website or in any publication or newsletter without written permission from me.
Information about specific species of finches can be found in my Species Showcase section.

Why A Finch? - Just a short article I whipped up after spending some time watching the finches in the aviary. I decided, well, I know why I like finches, I know why some people don't like finches, but I bet not everyone knows just why finches do make good pets. So, ta'da. Here you go..

Finch FAQ File - I get alot of finch question in my e-mail each day, and do keep 'em coming. But for the majority of the e-mails, it's the same few questions over and over again. So I decided to make a FAQ file, which stands for Frequently Asked Questions. Please check here before you e-mail me.

Friends & Finches - A simple "feel good" article about the people you may encounter and the friends you can make while diving into the finch world.

Friends & Finches - A short "feel good" article about the people I have encountered over the years while attending bird events.
Lady Gouldian Finch - Here is a small article about the colorful Gouldian Finch. Gouldians have become such popular birds over the years tho most everyone who e-mails me about Gouldians can't seem to spell Gouldian. Go figure. No matter how you spell Gouldian they are still great little finches to keep.
