Zebra finches are the most commonly kept of the Aust finches. I think to be useful there would need to be other Zebra finches, not just finches. I think most
pet shops that have birds would have them most of the time, (certainly the one at Tuggeranong Hyperdome usually does) going price is in the vicinity of $10 per pair. Whether they would take an extra is hard to know, even for free. Although most of the experienced
people are not that interested in wild type (colour) Zebra finches because they are too prolific. Surely there are other people closer to Bywong than Canberra, considering travelling to Canberra for one Zebra finch is rather extreme. Strangely when I did a
google search for the Canberra Finch Club which certainly did exist (they had a Diamond Firetail as their emblem) but I don’t know their current status, I did not get a result (only lots of strangely unrelated things). Not in phone book either. I believe former
contributor Benj Whitworth (dec’d Feb 2016 there are contacts listed on this line at that time who may know of contacts for Canberra Finch Club) was associated with the Canberra Finch Club. I could not even find the Avicultural Society of Australia (I was
a member many years ago..........).
Or just advertise on gumtree: “one male Zebra finch free to a good home”

Yes, I know that our list does not focus on aviculture, nonetheless this may be of interest to someone. Merran Laver lives in Bywong.

Do any of our members keep finches or know of anyone that has them in an aviary?
This little guy is not wildlife (it is a pet) but is very lonely and is free if someone can provide it a good home with other finches for company.
If you are interested, please contact Merran Laver (Wildcare member) on or 0401 492 580.
