Hand Taming Zebras

Started "hand taming" my two little zebras this week. The old millet is doing the trick! they aren't afraid at all anymore of my hand!

Very impressive. I've got three or four societies in the aviary who will come to my hand and perch for a few seconds if I have a really good treat - some of the time - but for the most part I've found finches don't want to tame down. Fledgelings I've handled a lot might stay tame until their adult moults but then they go wild too.
