weird sound?
my zebra finch (male) is making this weird sound every time he goes into their nest...it's like baby zebra(never had them but heard on some vids on youtube),but not as loud...can't explain it,it's very silent but I can still hear it...
so..why is he making that sound?
ps.they are in my home for a month now,they have their nest but haven't mated yet
edit:it's like whining

Re: weird sound?
I just added that info because I thought it might be important...about that sound he's making(maybe he's doing that because he wants to mate etc.)

Re: weird sound?
they are not mating in the nest.
if the bird feels okey, there no need to worry about the sound.
mine also making the sound while building inside the nest, but it's not look like baby begging

Re: weird sound?
I think I know what sound you are talking about. I liken it to a baby alligator, oddly enough. I agree with what others have said, I notice it only when he wants to mate, or has found a nest.

Re: weird sound?
I was really into alligators as a kid. Also, the pet shop near me sells babies for $100. I have no idea what someone in PA would do with one once it grows.Sally wrote:Now you've really gotten my attention.Raleighwheels wrote:I think I know what sound you are talking about.

Hopefully, you aren't raising them!
