Because they are generally kept in pairs, zebra finches will not need you to keep them company - play the radio while you are out, and talk to them when you are in - other than that they will be fine on their own.
Zebra finches breed readily, and are a good beginner’s bird, easy to care for and requiring a minimal time commitment. If you have a flock of these little guys, it’s a good idea to buy several of the different mutations - that way you can tell the pairs apart. Zebra finches come in a variety of mutations, including pied, fawn, cream, white, and others. The female is more muted in color, with its beak being a paler orange. The “normal” colored male (the most commonly occurring color) is gray with a black tear drop at its eye, bright red rouge patches on its cheeks, and a bright red beak at maturity.
It gets its name from the zebra-like stripes across its neck, chest, and especially from its black and white barred tail. The zebra finch is tiny, but is not the smallest of the finches. Because they are generally kept in pairs, zebra finches will not need you to keep them company - merely play the radio while you are out, and talk to them when you are in - other than that they will be fine on their own. Perhaps the most popular finch due to its availability and price, the zebra finch has been kept in captivity for more than a 100 years.
