| Housing your birds is an important part of keeping them healthy! Many pet stores sell cages that are far too small for the average bird. A single finch or canary may do well in a smallish, decorative cage, but this is really not enough room and can shorten the life of your feathered friend! |
| Moving birds from one location to another, such as from the pet store to your home, can cause the birds stress. Be sure to purchase a cage and set it up with food, water, appropriate perches, and anything else you feel necessary, BEFORE you purchase your bird. And before you buy, check out this link and decide if bird keeping is really for you! |
| Finches are typically very small, fragile birds. The proper cage type and size will protect them from unexpected mishaps. |

| This list of optional equipment is just that...optional. Needing these items really depends on your intentions - whether you intend to keep a single pair, several pairs, or become an actual breeder and sell your birds for income, etc. Use this link to help you decide what you really need! |

| See this page for lists of harmful and safe plants that may be fed to or used inside your Gouldian's cages - or out of the cage in your bird's area. |
