If you love birds but are scared of the possible upkeep, a finch is by far your best bet. Hailed the most low-maintenance birds of all, finches require little to no handling time or even socialisation with humans. That being said, finches love having pals of their own kind, so keeping a few in a large, roomy enclosure is ideal. Apart from their social life, finches just need regular feeding, water and clean-up to be as happy and chirpy as ever.
