- Small, beautiful, and quiet, the adorable Java finch has been trendy as a cage and aviary bird for many years. These birds require a “hands-off” approach to bird ownership, which is why they are a wonderful choice for both young and older bird owners who want a bird that is easy to care for. Their elegant in-cage flight maneuvers and soothing songs help put them among the most interesting small bird to keep and observe.
- However, you might need two or three; they need other finches to keep them company.
