斑胸草雀Taeniopygia guttata castanotis是一种在实验室中常用的鸣禽，特别是用于声音学习，神经生物学和生理学的研究。在实验室内，重要的是要采取谨慎的饲养措施，使鸟类正常发育。例如，它们的歌声是一种习得的特征，在文化上从成年雄性传递到幼年，因此它的学习可能受到实验室中鸟类的健康和社会条件的影响。在这里，我们提出了成功的维护和圈养斑胸草雀繁殖的指导方针。
The zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata castanotis is a songbird commonly used in the laboratory, particularly for studies of vocal learning, neurobiology, and physiology. Within the laboratory, it is important to adopt careful husbandry practices that allow for normal development of the birds. For example, their song is a learned trait, passed culturally from adult males to juveniles, and thus its learning can be influenced by the health and social conditions of the birds present in the laboratory. Here we present guidelines for the successful maintenance and breeding of captive zebra finches.
