What was the average speed of the finch for this 4 minute interval?
Q. A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.065 m/s. After 2.0 minutes the finch tires of the tortoise's slow pace, and takes flight in the same direction for another 2.0 minutes at 14 m/s. What was the average speed of the finch for this 4 minute interval?

A. Vav = D/t = [.065*120 + 14*120]/240 = 7.03 m/s

What type of finch is the easiest to tame?
Q. Hi i might get a baby finch but am wondering which is the easiest to tame and why. thanks i have a parrot i am not getting a parakeet or another parrot. do you think a canary might be easier to tame?
Asked by Dhyanwa - Tue Jul 21 19:28:03 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The best way to tame a bird is to handfeed it as a hatchling- something hard to do with finches since they are so darn small to start with. Society, spice, and zebra finches though are hardy and easy to work with.

How much would it cost to buy a finch and all its supplies?
Q. 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
Asked by Sherry - Sat Dec 8 16:51:46 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
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,… [cont.]

How do I keep 1 female Zebra finch from attacking my other female zebra finch??
Q. We have had them for 7 months without any problems until now. They have Kaytee Forti-diet Egg-Cite (finch Food). They also get Kaytee Hi-Cal Grit for finches. If we cover the cage the aggressive finch stops being aggressive. She is pulling out her sister's feathers.

A. Sounds like they're becoming mature and just don't want to share and compete for the same resources. You're going to have to separate them before the aggressor ends up killing the other bird.

How can I make my female zebra finch feel happier so that she will lay more eggs?
Q. I just got a male and female zebra finch and the female has laid only 1 egg in the first five days. I have heard that you can make them happier in ways and they will lay more eggs. Anyone know how to make her happier?
Asked by thedude - Wed Nov 5 19:18:27 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I haven't heard of any ways to make your finch "happier" (as this is personification) so that she will "lay more eggs." In order for her to lay eggs she needs to be in breeding condition and the environment needs to be just right. Having your pair in a small finch cage and feeding only seed will not encourage breeding. Your birds need to be on a high protein diet that is changing and includes not only seed but egg food, fresh vegetables, fruits, starches, and supplemental vitamins, mineral, and calcium. Without these items, your hen will not be successful in laying eggs, and your pair will not succeed in raising babies.

How old can a Zebra Finch be and still breed?
Q. I have a Zebra Finch hen who lost her mate (due to a tumor); we added a younger male finch after a while... from their noises (mainly his) I think they're trying to mate. She is at least six years old. She's in great health, but is that too old to breed?
Asked by T J - Tue Dec 11 08:29:53 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No your hen bird is still if in good health will be able to breed ,you will need to give her Cuttle bone and mineral block to replace minerals lost while producing eggs,also a good diet. Such as soaked sprouting seed. Soak some good quality Budgie mix in warm water over-night rinse ,drain and place some-where warm till it sprouts,feed this to the whole time she is laying,brooding and feeding young,also give her a leaf of Spinach now and again,if you an get hold of seeding grasses then these are quite suitable.(if you are in the right climate) Finaly restrict her breeding to no more than two broods a season.

Baby birds cannot leave the nest at so young an age..they would have had to have stayed in the nest for about 2 weeks before they were fully feathered and ready to go. You would not see any trace of a body or feathers..the predator that got them ate them whole.

Is there anyway to discourage this other then separating them (which is what we've currently done)? Also, while she was in the cage w/ the males she kept laying eggs, yet none were fertilized. In her own cage she hasn't laid any. We have finches just as pets and do not want to breed them; I just want what is best for her care. I m hoping some one more experienced then myself will have some ideas of how to get them all to co-habitat (As two large flight cages takes up a lot of room!)?

Q. Adaptive radiation is a term used to describe the changes in finch bills on the Galapagos islands. What actually happens in adaptive radiation? (Do finches glow in the dark?) What kind of radiation is this?
Asked by goodg11223 - Sun Mar 16 22:23:28 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. LOL! No, their bills do not glow in the dark. Adaptive radiation is the term used to describe a rapid and vast amount of diversity among different species that all came from a common ancestor. This is a very common occurrence in islands due to the varying types of mini-environments around them, thus creating many different niches which will lead to many different species. Adaptive radiation is also usually the result of a Founder Effect, or a Bottleneck. If you don't know what those evolutionary terms are either, just e-mail me.

Q. Adaptive radiation is a term used to describe the changes in finch bills on the Galapagos islands. What actually happens in adaptive radiation? (Do finches glow in the dark?) What kind of radiation is this?

Evolution caught in the act? An isolated population of . finches. have odd-shaped beaks, sing differently, and don't breed with others.
