toys for finches

Post by Tish » Sat Mar 10, 2018 1:41 am

Do finches enjoy toys? I'am getting 2 budgies and of coarse a load of toys for them, but should I buy toys for my finches as well?

I've never seen a finch "play" with a toy as hook bills sometimes do, but they will land on them on occasion. For me, toys and such interfere with flight, especially in a small cage, which I try to avoid. I like the birds to get as much flight time as possible.

Tish@Fraza I've never had hamsters, but I think they are just so cute! If you'd like to continue the conversation about your hamsters, please start a new topic in the Off-Topic forum, where you can also post photos of your pets.

Your finches might enjoy a swing placed on one side of the cage out of the line of flight. They would probably like a foraging box and as much flight space as possible more than anything. Might like a little timothy hay too.
