Any adoptions for 4 or more pairs can be discounted by request. This tier includes the Penguin (PNG), Phaeo (Fawn Cheek – FC) & Grey Cheek (GC) mutations. Tier 4 belongs to the rarest and most difficult to breed, usually with only 1-2 in each clutch and 1-2 total clutches per season. Tier 3 is for the rarer mutations who may also be difficult to breed such as Yellow Beak (YB), Fawn Orange Breast (OB) Black Breast (BB) or BC CFW. Tier 2 includes the basic mutations with some of the rarer ones such as Black Face (BF) Black Cheek. Tier 1 includes the basic mutations such as Chestnut Flanked White (CFW), Black Cheek (BC) & Normal Grey (NG). All TWFA references and reviews are published on the Testimonials page.Ĭlick here to download an Adoption Application I do offer shipping (contact me for quotes and more info). If you are a hobbyist breeder and you are interested in adding pairs to your flock please contact me through comments on this site or my email – I only take deposits on young that are already weaned. I also do not sell breeding stock to the general public. Visit the “Food: for Starters & Otherwise” page for a suggested list of items I also use in my aviary. I do not sell to anyone who does not have a cage setup yet, but I am willing to help. Subscribe to this blog for updates on when new pairs are available.

Local Emergency Vets Potential Adopter Info This takes up a great deal of my time but it’s vital in my opinion to a successful adoption. As a free service I’m available any time to answer any questions or concerns an adopter has before, during or after an adoption including first-time breeders. This is also why I do not adopt to everyone and require only the best conditions for my aviary offspring. This is also why I ask that all potential adopters fill out an application and pay a $15 deposit. This means I take a lot of time to answer emails, calls, texts or comments in the order they reach me. I strive to ensure that all of my juveniles end up in symbiotic homes who love them. When you adopt from TWFA you don’t just get some very healthy/happy Finches & superior genetics, you also gain a breeder who cares very much about her offspring. It turns out, the female finches remained selective and got creative: The female birds who ended up without a mate still laid plenty of eggs, but instead of taking care of them, the finches dumped them in other nests.Detailed Genetic, Parental & Hatch Date InfoĪny Additional Questions or Concerns Answered Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology simulated scenarios where female finches did not have much choice in males to understand if being picky affected the number of offspring the female finches ended up having. But in a setting where there are not that many male birds, researchers recently found that this pickiness has little effect on reproduction. One of the only proven preferences that female zebra finches have is for male birds that sing in the same dialect as them, meaning they have songs similar to those in the female finch’s home habitat. While true for many creatures, this is not really the case for monogamous zebra finches. Nature documentaries ripe with images of bouncing birds with crazy plumage have led us to believe that animal preferences have a lot to do with natural selection.
