WooHooo A place where we can exchange day to day happenings about our feathered friends. Thank you Finch forum!
I'll start it by saying that I now have five new fledgling Zebra Finches out and flying about, as of two days ago.

I have not had any Zebra Babies since August. Maybe someday I will have some more of them. My silver (m)and fawn(f) pair are sitting good and I hope they will be hatching soon. And my CFW's are sitting now too. Not sure about the others, they are not real consistant sitters. If they do not hatch the eggs they are sitting on then I will pull the nests again for a while. And just let them hang out for a while and rest.
Thank you,
Tina

I do but not a very good one. My silver male and his current hen. I think she is fawn, but I cannot get a good close look, I know she is not silver, or normal gray. these two are very shy, so I try to leave them alone alot.

Ah well. Some bad news. One of the fledglings found dead yesterday evening in the food dish on the bottom of the cage. Not a mark on it, eating actively, no feathers missing, beak or head damage, etc..The other four are live and well and flying about. These Zebras really seem to be awful flyers at first, their landings are more of a crash and walk away type affair. It's the only reason I can have to account for this little ones passing. I know I've said it before, but it really does amaze me how fragile these birds seem to be. I am more used to the smaller hook bills, parakeets, cockatiel, lovebird. Which are much more robust in frame.
