. the his parents are chocolate pied, and chestnut self. hes sorta a mix, he has a chestnut head and belly, but a chocolate pied tail and wings.
he is parent raised though, and i dont expect him to stay this tame, but who knows . he gets scared when i reach in the cage, because he follows his parents reaction, but once hes out hes fine.
. at least i can visit him often :0)
Aww, that last pic is so adorable!
I love finches, but so does my cat so I won't be having any!
.
oh my gosh lol, my dog is pretty chubby too. shes a dachshund and has quite the appetite. she allways goes for the cat foodMy cat tries to catch the wild ones but she's too fat to get one(she is 17lbs).
good point. he is scared of me in the cage, but he follows his parents. if they fly away, so does he. once he's out, hes just fine to sit on my hand or be pet on the head :21: he also hasnt really "mastered" flying yet. he kinda hops and flutters before plopping on the floor and peeping lol, but hes getting thereSoo cute! You're doing a wonderful job with him Ann! And just because he is parent raised doesn't mean he won't stay friendly, as long as your friend isn't keeping him caged with other finches and continues to handle him he should stay just as tame as he is now
. as soon as he is eating on his own, i will move him to a separate cage so he wont be influenced by the other finches, and work on keeping him tame 
Cute!
One time I met a woman at the vet's office, and she told me she'd had a friendly finch. The parents didn't feed him, so she ended up hand raising him, and he bonded with humans instead of people. Even though he was caged with finches, he strongly preferred the company of humans, and would throw a fit if he wasn't getting attention!
. i was planning to hand raise this little one, but didnt have time so i left it to the parents. hand raised finches grow slower so he wouldnt be weaned by the time i went back to school.
Lol! he bonded to humans instead of people??Cute!
