  • The large net maybe to put over her head

  • shouldnt you catch them with a small net? Catching them with your hand while they are flying could injure them...

  • You should wait till the bird comes to you, if they want to after taming.

  • 0:18 Finch: No, no please no!

  • i have a male two month old zera finch, he is hand trained, and flys to me when i whistle, i recomend hand feeding them, the see you as there parrent, but it can kill the baby zeebee

  • Someone please help me idk if my finch has died in the nestbox and at the same time I don't want to disturb them because some have eggs

  • It's easy to catch them in the dark as they won't fly in the dark. If you don't happen to own a butterfly net try throwing a light sheet or something over them to catch them if they get loose. Make sure all windows are shut before trying to take them out of their cage.

  • They don't fly fast and I would always catch them in my hand. They are adorable.
