About Fetching Finches
A Research Project Became a Hobby
I took a scientific exploration of my own- not only in avian science, but as a common Finch owner- to determine the ideal care of Zebra Finch and prove my hypotheses. I began by taking a scientific approach to the life cycle of Zebra Finches and became so intrigued I broadened my research to include the origins, environment, anatomy, reproduction and nutrition. Due to the number of birds in my study, I became a hobby breeder and was able to test my theories on my flock, allowing me to reach conclusions and develop techniques on factual information and not marketing schemes or outdated literature. The goal was to simulate the environmental conditions that occur in nature for captive pets and give them the opportunity to be as healthy as possible so they may be thought of as more than 'that bird in the window'.
The Information your Finches Deserve
This website was built to share my conclusions after thorough studies of passerines, and is not meant to provide very basic bird care. Instead I chose to create an educational resource for controversial subjects pertaining to the finch persuasion (passerines). The data collected should be applied to the general field of caring for many species/varieties of finches.
