Additional Comments

A Diamond Firetail finch life span is usually between 5 to 7 years, but well-cared-for captive birds can expect to live up to 10 years.
Size: Length: 4-5" (10 - 13 cm) Weight: 0.6 oz (17 g)
Song: A series of low-pitched, raspy, “buzzy” notes. These finches are most reliably sexed by the males' courtship displays and their songs. The female's song is described as a "scratchy" version of the male....

Breeding: They reach breeding age when they are about 9 - 12 months old. Males generally gather nest materials and females do all the weaving. A clutch consists of 4 - 6 eggs (sometimes as many as 9) which are incubated for about 12 - 15 days to hatching. Both parents share the incubation during the day. They continue to be fed and cared for by their parents for some time after fledging. Most are weaned and independent by the time they are about 42 - 44 days old.
