New Zebs - CFW

Post by waxbill lover » Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:39 pm

Heres some photos of my newest additions (I've wanted a pair for SO LONG!) Over the weekend I bought the CFW pair (they're english so they're HUGE) and a pied female for a little pied male I have that didn't have a mate.

Enjoy the photos!

Beautiful birds! I am envious :wink:

Question for ya... I have a pair of zebras and am in the process of building a large flight. I see that you have cordon bleus with your zebras. Do they get along well? I would love to have some!

Thanks guys! They're definitely gorgeous. I love them!

Erin, to answer your question I think most people prefer to keep the birds seperate. I had an opportunity to get some different zebra mutations (at a bargain price!) that aren't commonly found in my parts, so I jumped on the opportunity...all the birds are in one aviary for the time being. There are no nests with them right now, as I am going to California at the end of Aug, and don't want my birdsitter having to look after babies. (nor do I want to worry!) So while there are no nests in their cage, there isn't any fighting or territorial disputes and everyone has been getting along. I can guarantee the minute I were to put nests in there, everyone would be screaming bloody murder. The zebras can be incredibly pushy when they're nesting.
When I have the funds and when I'm ready to breed the birds this fall, I'll be splurging on another aviary and seperating the waxbills from the zebras/societies.
