Question

How long do zebra fiches stay with there mother and can baby finches live alone?????

Answer 1

After they fledge(leave the nest), the parents will take care of them for about 2-3 more weeks.  In that time the parents will feed and teach them to eat on their own.  

Depending on the chick, they should be able to leave their parents when they are 6-8 weeks old.

Answer 2

Zebra finches generally stay in the nest for about 2 weeks. Once they are eating on their own (not begging food from Mom), they could be put in a separate cage.

Answer 3

i think the zebra finch's stay with there mother forabout 1 to 2 weeks (i am guessing), baby finch's can live alone if there treated with lots of care and toys, a good toy to give to a baby finch alone is a mirror, even adult finch's dont live well by themselves, all types of finch's left alone should be kept with a mirror bacause they will look at the mirror andthink it that they should be entertaining another bird. here aresome interesting facts about finch's.

1. The finch is classified as a passerine bird. Its lifespan ranges from four to seven years. Its maximum life expectancy is 20 years but is rarely reached.

2. It is one of the smallest birds on Earth and belongs to the largest bird family.

3. Finches are small and quiet birds that do not need human interaction. They don’t mind having humans around when searching for food on the ground or bird feeders.

4. Being more bird-oriented than people-oriented, these birds if kept as pets are not meant to be taken out of their cage and played with. Playing with humans is seen to cause them stress.

5. Finches are songbirds that are ideally meant to be watched only for entertainment.

6. Darwin’s finches which look like little sparrows are said to be the most valuable lesson in natural selection. A total of 14 Darwin’s finches are in existence with 13 of them in the Galapagos Island in the Pacific Ocean and one in Cocos Island. All of them are part of the passerine group of finches and sparrows among many others.



7.the oldest finch arrived in

Galapagos Island millions of years back. What eventually contributed to the existence of different finch species were the isolated location of the island, its odd tropical weather and the presence of other small islands that enabled the birds to hop around. The difference among the species lies in their behavior, diet and their beaks.

8. The house finch was only a western bird before 1940. Then they were illegally shipped to New York City for trade as caged birds. Some pet dealers, however, later released their birds which eventually thrived in Long Island. Since that time, the house finches spread to the eastern and Midwestern part of the U.S. Today, they are one of the most common garden birds.

9. The house finch, also known as the linnet or papaya bird, was introduced in the state of California in 1870. It is often found in cities. Thanks to backyard feeders, many finches have survived through the years.

10. House finches are non-migratory to partial migratory birds. They usually stay in or close to their breeding areas over winter. They may only wander off to other areas in search for their food.

11. The house finch has two color varieties in Honolulu, Hawaii where they were also introduced. Found there are the red head and yellow finches.The yellow color is said to be an effect of physiological stress and improper diet

Answer 4

Zebra finches are independent of their parents at 14- 21 days  after leaving the nest then they can be put in a separate cage but make sure that they are "Independent".before you move them.

Watch to see if they are feeding themselves.
