{"product_id":"green-finches","title":"Green Finches","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreenfinch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenfinches are attractive, active birds known for their beautiful green and yellow colouring, sturdy build and lively personalities. They make a fantastic addition to a well-planned outdoor or indoor aviary and are particularly suited to keepers looking for something a little different from traditional finch species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Greenfinches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenfinches are native to Europe, North Africa and parts of western Asia and were introduced to New Zealand during the 1800s. They are now well established throughout New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMales generally display brighter green and yellow colouring, while females tend to have more subtle olive-brown tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAviary Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenfinches can be kept in spacious mixed aviaries with other compatible, similarly sized birds. They can generally live alongside other Greenfinches, Goldfinches and suitable finch species when adequate space is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Finches can be more assertive than smaller, quieter finches, particularly during breeding season, so we recommend providing plenty of perching areas, multiple feeding stations and enough room for birds to move away from one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHousing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenfinches are active birds and benefit greatly from an aviary that provides plenty of horizontal flying space. Natural branches, sheltered areas and different perch heights provide enrichment and encourage natural behaviours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA varied, balanced diet is important. Their diet can include a quality finch seed mixture alongside appropriate fresh greens, vegetables and other suitable supplementary foods. Fresh, clean drinking water should always be available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium and mineral sources should also be provided, particularly for breeding birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore Purchasing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease ensure you have an appropriately sized and secure enclosure ready before bringing your new birds home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all mixed aviaries, compatibility can vary between individual birds. Introductions should be supervised, and extra care should be taken during breeding season when territorial behaviour may increase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paws \u0026 Claws Manawatu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48238551073004,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1081\/5980\/files\/images_a62d10c2-22df-4b18-852c-ee5bc53c988c.jpg?v=1787886522","url":"https:\/\/pawsandclawsmanawatu.co.nz\/products\/green-finches","provider":"Paws and Claws Manawatu ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
