Finch Bird Cage
A good rule of thumb when buying a finch bird cage is buy the biggest one that you can afford. You're probably wondering why, when finches are so small. Well, finches get all of their exercise from flight, unlike other climbing birds. They need plenty of room to stretch their wings comfortably, and preferably room to fly.
The first thing you should know about finches, if you're considering buying them for the first time, is that they are much happier when in the company of another finch. Finches, unlike parakeets or parrots, prefer to be left to themselves. They don't require the attention from their owners that most other birds do.
 For a pair of finches, a cage with a minimum thirty inches of width is a good idea. Finches couldn't care less about the height of the cage. Since they flit side to side when flying, they need a wider cage instead of a narrower, taller one. Also, the cage bars should be no more than one half of an inch apart. This will ensure that your bird doesn't get caught in between the bars and injure himself. A flight cage would be a good idea for a finch. They are wider and larger than ordinary cages and allow full flight.
Stainless steel is an ideal material for your cage. It's non-toxic and won't chip if your bird bites or pecks on the bars. It also disinfects easily. You could also choose hard plastic as long as it's non-toxic and safe for the bird. Your cage should have plenty of perches, however, make sure that they are not in the flight path. If you are placing your finch in a cage with other birds, make sure they are about the same size so you discourage 'bullying.' You can select a cage with glass partitions to separate the birds if you wish.
Following these guidelines, it should be rather easy to select a finch bird cage that will keep you and your bird happy.
