Incubation lasts about 13–14 days, by the female. Male feeds her at the nest during this period. Chicks are covered with thick, long, greyish-white down at hatching. They are fed on insect larvae by both adults during the first days, and later, by a frequent regurgitated yellowish paste of seeds. They leave the nest about 13 days later but they are not able to fly. Usually, they fledge 16–18 days after hatching. This species produces two or three broods per year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birds For Sale","offers":[{"title":"Male","offer_id":67600504389846,"sku":"oll1791966349901","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Female","offer_id":67600504422614,"sku":"qaz1791966349902","price":86.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/5177\/6214\/files\/finch-european-green_1.jpg?v=1791966356","url":"https:\/\/glassbeadshimmerfit.shop\/products\/finch-european-green","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
