"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Laura, and i'm here to talk to you about finches. Finches are very small and it's very important that when you try to handle them you're very very careful. The best way to approach them is from the back. Make sure you wrap around both sets of feathers because they can get away very easily. Finches have very very small wing spans and it doesn't take much for them to escape. If they do escape, a net is a very easy way to catch them. You may have to chase them around your house for a little while but thats the safest way to get ahold them. Once you've got them in the net, place your hand over the net, hold it tight, and you can transport them back to the cage. "
