sprouted seeds should also be fed to them. Make sure that you do not buy your bird
food that a wild bird would eat. This could carry pesticides or harmful bacteria. Make
sure that you always have fresh water to care for your pet Grass Finch. You should
change the water every day to ensure no bacteria gets into the water. You will see
your Grass Finch sip the water this is a unique quality most birds don't have.
Behavior
Grass Finches live in colonies and it is best to make sure that you have other birds in
your cage. Males do not go good with each other because they will often fight for
females. If you don't want baby birds do not put male and female birds together. It is
best just to put females in a colony. Their are many different sorts of grass finches in
the wild but the common grass finch will have a black band around its neck, a white
belly, and a brown coat on top of the bird. Grass Finches in captivity have many colors
from blue to green to red to yellow.
Fun Facts
Most but not all Australian grass finches make little homes put of straw and grass that
look like duplexes.
