Introduction
Finches are charming companions, adding a little bit of life to an empty corner of any home. Whether you plan on having just a pair, or would like a whole aviary full, finches offer a glimpse into the natural world, and give owners hours of watching and listening pleasure. They are easy to care for, relatively quiet, and some are prettier than a rainbow. What more could you ask for in a birdy friend?
About This Book
Finches For Dummies is a book I wrote for people interested in finches. Maybe you just bought finches or a canary and need the essential scoop on getting set up as well as general care information. Or, you may already have finches and you need a refresher on the best way to take care of your companions or want to understand them better. Perhaps you’re ready for a new feathered friend but aren’t sure if finches are right for you and your family. If any of the above describes you, keep on readin’.
As you read, keep an eye out for text in italics, which indicates a new term and a nearby definition — no need to spend time hunting through a glossary. And monofont points out web addresses for additional information worth checking out. You'll also run into a few sidebars (the occasional gray box); although the information in the sidebars is good, it’s not essential to the discussion at hand, so skip ’em if you want to.
Foolish Assumptions
In writing Finches For Dummies, I made some assumptions about my readers:
You’re one of the millions of people who wants finches or who has a family member who wants one (or more) and you’ve come to this book to learn about their care.
You already have a canary or some finches, maybe a pair or a flock, and you want to brush up on finch care and learn a few things that you don’t already know.
Maybe you’re a volunteer at a bird shelter or rescue and you want to be able to educate your adopters more thoroughly.
Perhaps you want to begin breeding these popular little birds and want some information on how to make that process go smoothly.
Whatever the case, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned finch guardian, there’s something in this book for you.
