How much would it cost to buy a finch and all supplies? Not just the finch, but its cage, water dish, food dish, food, light, etc…
If you have any tips they would be greatly appreciated
if you need any more details just let me know
I live in U.S.A
That depends on what species of finch and which country you live in. Some finches cost over $100, while the zebra finch you can get as low as $1 here where I live (Australia). Also, never buy one finch, make sure you get an even number of the same species (they can be the same gender if you want).
So:
* Finch: usually $10-$120 each
* Cage: a few hundred dollars, or less if you go looking around. Never buy a small cage, they need a lot of horizontal room to fly. A large flight cage or small (or large) aviary is good
* Water and food dish: Usually come with the cage. Extra ones can be $3-$10 each
* Food: Depends in what quantities you buy, but maybe $15 for pellets and seed, and how ever much for vegetables, fruit, etc
* Light: Don’t know, sorry
* Perches: Free, use natural perches, wash them first
* Floor bedding: Free, use black and white newspaper
