Can you train a Zebra Finch to be held?

Question

I've seen a few videos online of people who let their zebra finches onto their fingers and they just hang out.

If I even open the cage, my zebra finch will freak out and will perch on top of his nest. So.. can you train them in some way to not freak out?

Answer 1

most people would say no, but EVERY bird can be taught to be hand tame   check out http://www.parrotcentral.net/how_to_tame... for tips on training your bird to be hand tame

Answer 2

i guess you can but its better if they are under a year old, my zebra finch does the same thing
