That's great! My best pair would have to be my fawn split pied hen and fawn smudged white male- they had seven babies last time, and currently have 4. They seem to be really good parents and never abandon their babies.

That's good it's going well. Pretty annoying when parents abandon their babies.

Flight Feathers yeh the thing is I love having zebras but it seems you can only have about two pairs in an aviary before they start trying to bully or fight with each other when I had four pairs they would attack each other when I had threee they would attack each other and now I have two they seem okay together and don’t pick on the starts aswell so I’m thinking that’s why I’m starting to like them more now

Wow thats weird, they usually say 3 or more pairs keeps the peace. I have a friend who has a nice sized aviairy and she has heaps of zebra finches.

When I had more 2 pairs they use to fight heaps so now I just have to always have them in seperate cages.

Flight Feathers yeh I do have a theory that it’s because one of the zebras was adopted by the society’s at a young age so she has a passive side and spends time with the society’s instead of the zebs, hopefully it goes well when I introduce the two cages knes back in as they have been swapped pairs and there pairs are now paired to each ither
