The finch family contains many of the most popular pet song birds. All finches are social and should be kept in pairs - and a male and female pair will usually breed quite readily so you may want to consider keeping only females. Some people recommend keeping these birds either in pairs or in groups larger than 6. In general, finches have an expected lifespan of anywhere from 5-15 years. The wide range here can probably be attributed to species differences as well as an increased understanding of their husbandry, especially diet.
