Finches love to have visual contact with people, however, typically do not like to be handled. Talking and whistling to your bird will provide them the interaction and socialization they need. The soothing sounds of the male bird make the finch an entertaining pet. There are multiple species of finches and some do not get along. As a general rule, larger species of finches should not be housed in the same cage as smaller species.
