I do not house my English with my smaller zebras so I can't tell you if they intimidate the smaller ones. They are not as quarrelsome either.

They are magnificent looking babies. The first picture, 'DS English', is absolutely stunning, as are the rest. :-)

I recently had one of my English penguin pair produce a hen which is great since most offspring from the pair tend to be males.

cindy - Thank you for explaining some of the differences. You have beautiful birds! Is the chirping of English Zebra similar to narmal zebras?

Thank you, the sound is about the same but the English a little deeper

I think my fawn female and male light back are English based on size only. Is there a minimum weight? Anyway to know for sure? Thank-you for loading the male silver. I was wondering what they looked like. I am quite sure I have two female silvers but of normal size. Did you import directly from Europe or through a broker?

cindy They are truly maginficent birds!!! What beautiful babies you've help bring into this world!!! I would love to see them in person. They are just stunning. I love lovezebs "plump" definition it seems to really hit the nail on the head. But they are quite something. And she's right, they do seem more docile even though it's just still photos... are they as active?
