These stunning little animals can survive in almost any situation, cost very little to maintain, are busy little animals and are one of the easiest to have and reproduce.

Trying different combinations of foods to see what your birds like to eat works well. Try mixed vegetables, sprouts, hard boiled eggs (mashed), lettuce, spinach, bread crumbs and corn bread. Most natural foods can be fed to your birds. Make sure you only feed your Zebra Finch the amount of food they can eat completely. Even though the Zebra Finch are sturdy and are used to going long periods of time without water (give water daily), they are not used to going long without food. They need to eat on a daily basis for healthy living. Please make sure their food bowl are filled with

    The average beak size is 12.0 mm, while precipitation averages 20.0 mm at Darwin and Wallace Islands. The data from the samples were input onto an excel spread sheet, which calculated the data for the next 100 years. If the rainfall was to average 20.0 cm for the next 100 years, the finch beak size would increase. If the precipitation continued to average 20.0 cm, by 2096 the finch from Darwin Island would grow a beak of 18.5 mm. The finch from Wallace Island, would grow a beak of 18.21 mm.…

    The first experiment is designed to study the influence of beak size on finch population numbers. For finches, deep beaks are strong beaks, ideally suited for cracking hard seeds, and shallow beaks are better suited for cracking soft seeds. I experimented first with the finches’ adaptation and evolution of their population over 300 years, and changed the Wallace birds beak size to 28mm, and Darwin’s birds stayed at the default of 12mm.…

    The first thing that occurred is the drought in 1977 they saw that after the drought many of the dead finches were the finches with the smaller beaks, while the ones that survived had bigger beaks. This happened because through the drought the most common food was the bigger seeds and the smaller beaked birds couldn't break into those seeds as well as the bigger beaked birds, so because of variation of beak size the more suitable beak size was found and thrived while as you move away from that best size you begin to see less survivors. The thing that is even more amazing is the fact that after that happened it rained for a very long time and they saw another case of natural selection because as it rained the bigger beaked birds couldn't get the more abundant seed from vines so the littler beaked birds survived better in the new…
