Hey everyone! I bought two society finches Friday. The gentleman said they were too young to know for sure what the sex was, but he believed he got a pair. *How old do you think they are. Stupid me forgot to ask* One of them sits and sings constantly while the other kinda squawks. I thought I read somewhere that the singer is the male? Is this true? I bought them finch food and a mite protection thing. When should I buy them a nesting box? I understand it’s necessary for breeding, but should I get one now?I have done a little research and learned they like fruits and veggies. I put park of a cellery stalk through the bars and they want nothing to do with it. Can anyone tell me about the fruits/veggies they prefer.
I had a parakeet in the past, so I know most birds need cuttle bones. Uh. That’s about all I know. Please don’t flame me for going in unprepared because I know. Lol.
I am basically looking for ANY information about my beautiful birds. I hope to have them a long time.

Video shows why bird feed disappears. This raccoon is quite intelligent. It first appeased the cat, which decided to just watch it, rather than try to chase it off. Then it went to the bird feeder. This is a specially made “coon-proof” feeder. It first looked at the nearby ladder and decided not to use it. Instead it climbed right up the “coon-proof” feeder stalk and helped itself. Note how it very neatly eats the grain that fell on its stomach, before it comes back down the pole. This is …
