79.0. "Finches" by AKOV13::MCCALL () Tue Dec 27 1988 11:47

    I was given a pair of finches as a Christmas gift.  I have never
    had birds before and would like any information about them.  Also I
    need to know what kind of cages are best for them and good places
    in the Maynard area to buy a cage because the one they are in is
    to small.

79.1TRY THE FISH NOOKSVCRUS::BUCCIERITue Dec 27 1988 13:097
    As far as cages go......I would reccommend the Fish Nook located
    in Acton on Route 2A.  They have a very good selection of cages
    and books that you will find helpful.  The staff is also very
    knowledgable on a wide variety of birds.  Hope you will enjoy your
    living gift.

79.2This is a good place to get knowledge!SMURF::HORNERTue Dec 27 1988 14:0016
    HI!
    
    What kind of finches do you have?  Your cage should be large enough
    for them to fly freely.  Larger birds need exercise, but can do
    so standing on perches, and are frequently let out of cages...Finches
    however, need lots and lots of room to exercise their flight muscles!
    
    I breed finches!  Please feel free to call me at the aviary evenings
    at 603/880-8984!  I am always available to help!!!  If you'd rather
    send mail, well, you can send it on this node, but I have to share
    an account for now!
    
    Congratulations on your new family!!!
