The finch family contains many of the most popular pet song birds.  All finches are social and should be kept in pairs - and a male and female pair will usually breed quite readily so you may want to consider keeping only females.  Some people recommend keeping these birds either in pairs or in groups larger than 6.  In general, finches have an expected lifespan of anywhere from 5-15 years, depending on the species and dietary considerations.  Choose the right finch from our collection of bird suncatchers to meet your decorating needs.
