Bird disease migrates from UK to Europe
Trichomonosis, a disease normally associated with pigeons, apparently "jumped the species barrier" and began to affect British finches in 2005. In some areas chaffinch populations fell by a fifth and greenfinch populations by a third. |

Bird's-Eye View: rose-breasted grosbeaks Females can be confused with female purple finches, which also visit our area but only from November to April. The finch is smaller and has no white on its wings. Rose-breasted grosbeaks have a pleasant warbling song that has been described like that |
British garden bird disease spreads to Europe
Trichomonosis first emerged in British finches in 2005 and has since caused local declines in populations of greenfinch and chaffinch, with greenfinch populations in some counties dropping by a third within a year of the disease emerging. |
Many feathers in forefather's cap
That these shared characteristics with finches in South America, yet represented separate species from them and from each other, suggested a process of mutation. As all animal breeders know, cross-breeding can produce new types; what is not mentioned |
Why female zebra finches cheat on their partners
Zebra finches form monogamous lifetime partnerships, but both males and females indulge in extramarital sex. The benefit for the males is clear: the chance to sire more offspring than fidelity would permit. But why would females cheat when that means risking losing their lifetime partners and catching diseases?
A new study suggests females are promiscuous simply because they inherit many of the same genes responsible for promiscuous behaviour in males.
Wolfgang Forstmeier of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen, Germany, and colleagues studied a captive population of more than 1500 zebra finches from five generations. The team recorded the birds' sex lives on videotape. Later, through genetic paternity tests, they determined which ones had the most offspring.
Breeding Finches – An Art You Can Learn To Master | knowledge hatch
By Daniel P. Ransom
Introduction
Breeding finches is an art that anyone can learn to master over time. Breeding finches will require the proper environment to be successful. You should know that breeding season for most finch species begins in early spring. Some species prefer a cage-placed breeding box, while others enjoy the wider spaces of an indoor or outdoor aviary.
The Basics
The best time to start breeding your finches is when they are about 8 months old. Particular finch species employ nesting arrangements unique to them. Therefore, it’s critical to acquire breeding knowledge specific to the species you plan to breed. Use the information you gather on finch reproduction to optimize your set-up. For instance, unlike other varieties, breeding Zebra Finches is somewhat less involving because they are casual breeders. Their nesting requirements will be more relaxed than that of Gouldian finches.
