What do finches require for nesting?
You should provide your birds with fine grass like swamp grass or November grass. If you wish to collect from side of the road please ensure you do it an area where it has not been contaminated by exhaust fumes from motor vehicles as this will be detrimental to your birds. Also feather and fine fibre like coconut fibre should also be provided. And finally you should provide nest boxes, baskets, brush or planted shrubs for them to build their nests. All these items can be purchase from the QFS or at most reputable pet stores.
