I have an albino house finch coming to my feeder regularly. How unusual is this?
Bird Watcher's Digest: Frequently Asked Questions: General Q...Ablino or partial albino (known as leucistic) house finches are not uncommon. Because all eastern house finches are descendents of 40 or so adults released on Long Island in the 1940s, some genetic conflicts, which can produce white plumage, are fairly regular among the house finches. While it's not a major ornithological find, it is very interesting to watch a single albino bird and see how it interacts with others, and how often it comes to your feeder.

The Finch Niche - Finch Information & Articles by Myra - FAQ...Yes you can, but I do not usually recommend it. Canaries and Finches do have different dietary requirements just as many of the larger hookbill species do. I know of people who do keep mixed aviaries of various Finches and Canaries. They may never have any problems with their birds either, but I do not recommend that the two types of birds be housed together. It is also important to know the temperament of your finches and canaries in your aviary to avoid fighting.

I just put a feeder (and/or bird bath) in my yard. Why are no birds coming?
Wild Birds FAQ - frequently asked questions about wild birdsSometimes it takes birds quite a while before they use a new feeder or bird bath. If after ten days, no birds are visiting, think about moving the unit to another location in your yard. I don't have any suggestions. Hopefully, this bird will quickly pass through whatever season is causing this behavior or move to another location. Even if you succeeded in chasing the bird out of a particular tree, it would probably choose another location equally close.
