Finches by Lolly Brown
Finches come in all kinds of different colors and patterns, making them some of the most beautiful little birds you will ever see. Not only are finches lovely, but they make active and entertaining pets, depending on the species you choose. As wonderful as they are, however, finches do require a certain degree of care and they are different from other kinds of pet birds. If you think that a finch might be the right pet for you, this book is the perfect place to start your journey. Within the pages of this book you will find a wealth of information about finches in general as well as the specifics of their care, feeding, breeding, and more. By the time you finish this book you will not only have a deeper understanding of finches in general, but you will know for sure whether or not they might be the right pet for you. If you decide that they are, the information in this book will have you well on your way to becoming the best finch owner you can be Finch Bird Types, Care, Where to Buy, Temperament, Health, Breeding, Feeding, and Much MoreLolly Brown, a lifelong animal enthusiast, is equally at ease writing about exotic creatures like the Mexican axolotl or giving dog owners sensible advise on kennel cough. Brown first became interested in fish and aquariums as a child, when her father surprised her with a 10-gallon aquarium. Within a few months, the father-daughter duo had upgraded to a 120-gallon tank and were fully absorbed in the complexities of tank population control. We had that go-big-or-go-home attitude that is widespread in the hobby, according to Brown. Now that I think about it, I remember what we did to Mama's living room!
Brown's interest throughout animals grew in college, where she took multiple field biology and wildlife classes that allowed her to observe various species in their natural settings. Because her only apartment companions were two hamsters, Hemingway and Leo (Tolstoy), she refers to this phase of her life as the rodent years. She also said she adopted a Guinea pig because she couldn't take the circumstances in the pet store. I was not at all prepared to care for Molly, and I had to learn quickly!
Then I discovered that I'd have to feed them live crickets. Brown first discovered capybaras, a South American creature that appears like a giant Guinea pig, while helping at her local zoo. Her interest in exotic pets was piqued as a result of the event, and she continues to research the subject with zeal. Brown, a freelance writer by trade, writes animal books for her own enjoyment and the education of her readers.
She is an outspoken advocate of animal rescue and welfare organizations, and she volunteers with programs that teach young children about pet care. Brown has her own menagerie, with a 180-gallon saltwater fish tank, a 20-year-old Scarlet Macaw, a Golden Retriever, and numerous tolerant cats. (She suggests that nice cages make good multi-species homes.) If I'm interested in a particular animal but haven't had any firsthand experience with it, I get some before I start writing, Brown adds. Every animal has their own unique viewpoint on the world and their place within it.
They all have different physical and emotional demands, as well as distinct personalities. These are concepts I'd like to grasp before attempting to convey them to my audience.
