Zebra Finch

Aviary Birds

Find me on the map

The zebra finch is a small bird at just 10cm long, and is the second most popular pet finch. You can visit the finches in our aviary.

These cute little birds live in flocks. The male is much more colourful than the female with orange cheek patches.

They feed on the ground or amongst shrubs and grasses. Being very adaptable they can nest in trees, shrubs, at ground level or below ground in old rabbit warrens! So make sure to look all around to see if you can spot one in the aviary.
