There names are Sam, a pied zeb and Brill a fawn.
At first I had 4 males in a small aviary. Sam was friends with another finch but then he became friends with Brill.
The two nest together, preen each other and everyday do 'the dance of love'. They actually try to fertilse each other. Thier dance involves circling around on a branch and singing at each other. Then they both have a go at fertilising each other. The two are always together.
We seperated them for a day once, one in the small aviary and the other in the larger aviary which are next to each other. They called out to each other and hung of the wire. Brill was with a female but showed little interest.
The two boys have been together in the larger aviary for quite some time. During that time a male and female couple have bred twice and the boys have not shown much interest in the female or the female babies..
I guess thier realtionship is a result of being with mostly males but I think they are very close and would never pair up with a female. Our other males always bug females when breeding so we moved them to the a seperate cage, but Sam and Brill we did not have any problems.
It probly happens lots but i just find it very amusing and thought I should tell thier story.... Oh also sam and brill are great nest builders. They have made some great constructions on thier own.
:sigh:.
