Will this attract nesting House Finches?

It was a gift for my dad but he has the regular finch houses and he hung it in the same area, as of now no takers

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

I used it for chickens and it was a nice housing unit the one issue I did have was with the nesting box. The floor of it can be easily pushed up by predators that get under it. You would have to reinforce this area.

I don't know anything about finches, but I'd say it depends on the size of the aviary. I have mine about 20 inches away from my hedgehog, and it warms to the bottom of her cage. If the aviary is long though you may want to use two of them. Mine only warms a 3 ish feet radius. As for what bulb, you'll need to research finches for that.

Chances are likely 50/50.However, we have had only Blue Birds in our houses. Where you place the house may be a big factor

Yes. Birds are attracted to the feeder all day long. They cling to the metal cage and seem to have no difficulty remaining until they are satisfied. Ours is suspended from a pole and is nearby to a tree. The birds sometimes go back and forth from the tree to the feeder.

IF using it to transport to Vet, or one house to another, then yes. It is NOT for full-time habitat. I used it to transport my Finches, but found it is a better transport for rodents or safe reptiles, but only for transport from one place to another and be sure to keep the carrier out of the Sun Light.

Probably! Just give it a few weeks. It took a few weeks for the goldfinches to locate our feeder.

It works good for me, I have finches. I don't have directions but I'd send you some photos. You can contact me via phone if you want also

Helen,My main concern was sparrows, and I read someone's report about smaller birds building nests inside the spikes. I decided to try the inexpensive package, and it has helped a lot. That's not to say that during the spawning season, these sparrows haven't tried building a nest inside the spikes. I have stayed on top of the situation and have noticed much less activity as time goes on.

I don't think so, but you would probably not want to use a tray on a Finch feeder even if it did attach. Finches are such picky eaters and like to perch on the small rods that I think that a tray would have them flying on to another feeder. You might want to check with Droll Yankees to be sure. Every time I have contacted them, they have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

I don't think so. It spills when reloading. I have found too much seed all over the ground after a few days up for finches.

Once the finches find it, it should provide you hours of bird watching. Will this be in an area where predators can get at them when feeding?

I think it attracts more birds. We have other bird baths and several feeders so we always have many birds. They'll perch on the edge of this birdbath to enjoy the spray.

Ha, that's cute! I put peanuts out everyday to ATTRACT blue jays! I only use this cage for suet cakes, but yes, it would work if you want to put peanuts in the shell on the inside. If you're trying to get the small songbirds only, that will work. Carolina Wrens, Downy Woodpeckers, American Goldfinches are some of the songbirds I have gotten that go inside to feed. This also is great at keeping squirrels out, although, they have gotten on top of it and their weight has made it come crashing down!

I would say absolutely. I have average sized chickens (not the little bantams) and I have seen two of them in one nesting box before. From what I have seen of homing pigeons, they are smaller than my chickens.

Not a bird owner here but I wouldn't think so. This enclosure is 18x18x18 and as I understand it the minimum cage size for finches or budgies is at least 18x18x24. They make an 18x18x24 versions and larger I believe.
